Self-Knowingness Is More Important Than You Think

"You can't know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself."

Bodhidharma

Mr. Dyer in "The Sky Is The Limit" says:

"You and whoever on this planet were born free, to cultivate the whole creative potential that is inside of you and to live in peace with your conscience.


Nevertheless it is possible to complain one's birthright only if one is firmly convinced to accept all the social, or external risks, derived by the wish to ignore the external pressures that try to force the people to seek external rewards.

The search of external rewards excludes the inside satisfaction that derives from being convinced to do what one believes despite the unavoidable external consequences."
(translated again from italian to english)

I find this excerpt one of the highest concepts ever written about our self-improvement potential.

I have put in practice these extraordinary suggestions several times in my life and I have to confirm that these things are truthful and crucial in every real self-improvement path.

Only a remark: take care of the way you try to know yourself!

You should be aware that the way and the conclusions of your check-up too they are influenced by your previous beliefs!

That is why a self-knowingness process is never an easy step.

You have to feel ready and convinced and inspired to really want to start a deep analysis of yourself.

"Who am I?" "What I want to realize?" are crucial questions and it worth they should be treated with a particular attentiveness.

Finally is very important to know oneself, because without this I think you will never build a successful method to learn and to improve yourself.

Be sincere with yourself! This is the key to self-knowingness.
