Lack of Self-Knowledge: Reason #5
#5 People often fail to really know themselves because they feel know themselves already.
Few people do. We are usually more concerned with helping others and working for others rather than working on ourselves.
Knowing what food, movies and vacation spots you prefer may seem to prove that you know yourself, but they are only the tip of the iceberg. And you know what happened to the Titanic.
Even what appear to be simple new things we discover can have enormous influence on what we do next.
What would you do if your spouse died? What if you got cancer? If you could live your life over again what would you do differently?
Here’s as exercise.
Write your obituary as if you died today. Make it around 800 words.
Now write it as if you lived to be 85. Write it as you would like it to appear.
If you find any huge difference or wild discrepancy between the two, maybe we should talk about your future.
