Episode 36 – The Pursuit Of Passion: Know Thyself

July 9, 2010

The pursuit of passion may well begin with knowing ourselves better. Avoiding self-delusion, recognizing our natural tendencies, knowing our abilities and seeing ourselves in honest and true ways – those are among the elements required for improved self-awareness.

This is hard work. It’s demanding. It’s often stressful. Coming to terms with who we really are can be some of our most important work. We ought to give it more time and attention. We ought to strive hard to figure it out.

It’s made harder because we like to compare ourselves with others. We look to emulate others. We often judge our success or failure based on how others are doing, or have done. It’s a trap. And it will consume us. Because there’s always somebody who is stronger, faster, bigger, better, more popular, prettier, more handsome, richer, funnier…

Be who you are, but be the best person possible. Improve. Grow. Develop. Mature. Be unique. Be remarkable.
