Knowing Yourself Is True Wisdom

                            "Find yourself first, like yourself first, love yourself first, 

                                    and friendships and love will naturally find you." 

                                                                      - Mandy Hale

You must know thyself.

You must know how you want to live your own life, and then you must live it that way, being proud of your decisions, and stop worrying about what others think.

In today's world we are so busy wanting to know everything about everybody else. We want to know what other people are up to all the time. We are staying in constant contact with people we know and also people we don't know, through all kinds of social media, the internet and TV. 

"Knowing others  is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. 

Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. 

If you realize that you are enough, you are truly rich." 

- Lao Tzu


But in the battle of always wanting to know and learning about what other people are doing, we are forgetting one thing... learning about ourselves.
Learning and studying ourselves is so important, but instead we are studying everyone around us and we want to be more like them instead of being our authentic self. 

"First know yourself, then you will begin to understand why things are as they are, 

and why life is as it is." 

- Leon Brown

But the sooner you stop worrying about what other people think and what they are doing and not doing and start focusing on learning about "yourself" the better off you are going to be.
The sooner you can start to be believe in of yourself and to make decisions based on what you want and what you think... the better off you will be. And if you need to change something, then just change it. It is never too late to change and to get better. 

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." 

- Aristotle


You can change. You can live the life you always wanted. You can live a life of your own design.
It starts with creating the rules for your own life. What you will accept from other people, but also what you will accept from yourself.

So stop following other people and their lives and dreams and put some energy into creating your own dream and vision for your own life. Never feel bad for putting yourself first and doing what is right for you.

A wise man travels to discover himself.
