Know yourself

When people tell you to believe in yourself BEFORE they tell you to KNOW yourself,

They are actually NOT setting you up for success.

You cannot buy a land to farm on and then 'believe' in it and it will be a successful farm.

You have to KNOW the land.

KNOW what crops it can sustain

KNOW what amount of nutrition it needs

KNOW if it needs a long period to fallow.

You know all this by ... TESTING and TRYING different things with the land.

KNOW YOURSELF

TRY DIFFERENT THINGS. STUDY how YOU respond to different people and environments.

STUDY what makes your heart leap and smile.

KNOW the type of environment which brings out the BEST in you, makes you want to work harder, etc

KNOW the type of environments which make you give up easily, and discourages you.

Then HELP YOURSELF by keeping yourself where YOU will GROW.

Don't leave your LIFE in the hands of your Parents or Friends. OWN YOUR LIFE.

KNOW when its time for you to be ALONE(fallow), UNDERSTAND what you need to rejuvenate,

Then DO things which ensure you are affected positively.

BE AWARE of WHO YOU ARE

Do NOT be IGNORANT of YOURSELF

There is NO destiny to fulfill.

TRY DIFFERENT THINGS, TRY DIFFERENT THINGS, TRY DIFFERENT THINGS, that is how you get to KNOW yourself,

Then DO YOURSELF.
