Introduction

Knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom.

Aristotle

Aristotle spoke these words above a long time ago but they are evergreen and remain relevant today. We live in a world where all that many people do is survive. They wake up, like an animal without a sense of purpose apart from the fact that they want to get money. There is no doubt that it is important to earn a living. Still, that cannot be all that you do with your life.

In his theory of the hierarchy of needs, Abraham Maslow posited that physiological needs are the basic needs of humans while self-actualization is the peak. The reality is that many people are stuck with the desire to meet their basic needs and they never reach beyond that. Such people never think about impacting the world and leaving it a better place.

It is so sad that many people have this same approach to their relationships. They are always seeking ways to exploit their friends and families for monetary gains. This is one of the reasons it is difficult to find loyal friends, employees, and even spouses in the modern world. Mainstream and social media are busy creating unhealthy comparisons between people and it is so easy to lose yourself in this rat race of futility.

This book aims to help you discover yourself and help you retrace your steps if you have forgotten who you are. This self-help book has the potential to make you discover areas where you have been getting it wrong in your life, that have incapacitated you. This is the dose you need to live purposefully, fulfil your potential, and live the rest of your life with a smile on your face while discovering more smiles on faces in unexpected places.

Chapter One:

The Art of

Self-Discovery

Who are you? What do you stand for? What are your values? These are questions many people have never asked themselves. Consequently, they do not have answers to them. This is the reason some people who appear innocent at the early stages of their lives, eventually find themselves among criminals, drug addicts, and corrupt people. It was easy to lure them into such unscrupulous practices because they never took the time to determine who they were. This chapter will explore the benefits of self-discovery and the dangers of the lack of it.

The Benefits of Self-Discovery

When you know who you are, no one can push you around, manipulate you, or lead you astray. Below are some of the perks available to people who have discovered themselves:

Recognition of Strengths

When you take time to discover yourself, you will recognize your strengths, abilities, and talents. Do not be surprised to find people who will dismiss and write you off because they do not know your capabilities. You are in the best position to know what you can do. One of the most important attributes you should possess is the confidence to display your talents when others are watching. You might fail sometimes and not perform as expected. Still, if you know your strengths and capabilities, you will always stand up again and show the world what you can do. Critics will eventually apologize for writing you off when you began to strut your
