Why You Should Know About Yourself?
Life is, apparently, full of unknowns.
But let me tell you; Life can be understood.
Life can be considered as a totality of many different areas in which we constantly must act up, areas of action and activity.
Let me, for example, arbitrarily divide life into several areas in which we constantly and continuously act or do something. |
|
|
Work: |
We all have an area in life called work (at least most of us do!) where we have to do some things according to our particular purpose or goal. |
|
|
|
|
Health: |
Here too we do things, like eating, working out, taking a bath, etc. in order to keep ourselves healthy. |
|
|
|
|
Leisure: |
Another group of activities we engage upon in life that can be very different from someone else. |
|
|
|
|
Family: |
We all have many activities we have to do in relation to our parents, children, spouse, aunts, brothers, sisters, etc. So life's area "family" comprises many different things we do. |
|
|
|
|
Education: |
We are constantly engaged in activities that one way or another makes us learn more and more, even life experiences themselves become a constant education. |
|
|
......etc |
|
We all have the fundamental need to improve our life one way or another. To have a better life is a common desire of humanity.
Now, if you have been working in a particular job for a while you surely are doing it better presently than when you first started.
Why is that? Simply because you know your work better today than, let's say, 5 years ago. You improved in your job because you know more about it now that you did before.
How about Health? If you suddenly don't feel well and have a pain the first thing you want to do is to know what is wrong, for as soon as you know what's wrong you will also know what you need to do to improve your health.
Let's look now at family area. If you want to become a better father or mother, you will want to know more about, for example, your son. What is happening to him, what are his qualities, his desires, his personality, etc. The more you know about your son and the requirements to be a father or mother, the better father or mother you become. Simple, right?
The area of education is, by definition, simply knowing more.
Even if you do nothing in life, the bare fact of living will make you know more things today than you did yesterday.
The point we are trying to make is that to improve you life you need to KNOW more.
By knowing more you could solve all the "problems" in your life. Truly.
But, know more about... what?
Mathematics?, Physics?, Business?, Medicine?, Psychology?, History?, Biology?, Anatomy?, Politics?, Economics?, Computers?, Administration?, Chemistry?, Religion?, Arts?, Human Relations?, Astronomy?, Cars?, Engineering?, Construction?, Advertising?, Literature?, Music?, Architecture?, Plumbing?, Electricity?, Law?, Botanic?, Gardening?, Spirituality?, Astrology?
... and we could go and on forever.
The amount of things we can learn about in our society's traditional teaching approach is so overwhelming that it is literally impossible to achieve it even in a million years. (A great trick to make us feel inadequate or incapable)
Then; what can we do? What do we really should Know more about?
Let's see...
If you loose your job, Who has the problem? ... You.
If you get sick?, Who has the problem? ... You.
If you want to play better golf, Who has the problem? ... You.
If you feel you are not a good father or mother or son or whatever, Who has the problem? ... You.
If you need to know more, Who has the problem? ... You.
The ONLY common point in ALL areas of your life is YOU!
If you cease to exist (I said exist, not die), your work, your health, your family, your hobbies, your problems, the sun, the stars, your neighbors, the universe and galaxies and everything else you can think of also cease to exist for you and have no significance at all whatsoever.
The moment you begin to exist once again everything has full significance for you once more.
Your whole life and everything in it IS ONLY, entirely and nothing else but YOU!
“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.”
Lao Tzu
|
If you want to know and understand your life and anything about it, the ONLY thing you have to know and understand about is YOU.
To understand and know everything about everything you have to understand and know everything about YOU. |
