Why You Need to Understand Yourself

Understanding yourself is a process and it is not easy. As you grow older and smarter, you will experience various roadblocks. I know how it feels when you're having roadblocks and oftentimes, you feel lost of a sudden. In fact, breaking these roadblocks or icebergs in life is tough. Roadblocks never ends and whether you like it or not, it runs in circles.

Now, if you want to live happily, you need to learn how to understand the inner walls of your personality. Understanding your own personality might be the most precious gift you can award to yourself when everything around you seems hopeless. You can never be perfect and anyone can be smarter than you but when you have understood yourself the way you want it, there's nothing in the world you can ask for.

Understanding yourself means accepting both your strengths and weaknesses. It is seeing your bigger self instead of parts. For instance, failing your science laboratory exam made you think that you're the biggest loser in the world. It's OK to feel lonely after a sad event. Failing an exam is only a part of your life and not the whole. Truth is, there's really more you can do than taking an exam. If you want to cry, just do it but never give up. You might feel unwell after failing an exam but life doesn't end there.

Accepting your weaknesses will take time and it doesn't mean that your weaknesses outshine your strengths, you're a loser. If you think that way, you will also feel that way but if you are going to do something about your weaknesses, that's what you call Life.

Life seems unpredictable. There are questions and expectations in our mind all the time. You can't free yourself from your sorrowful fate. There's nothing you can do about it and the more sorrows you have, the stronger you'll become in defeating them but no matter what, you can still choose to understand yourself. Studying the way you behave and making sound decisions is what our life is all about and whatever happens, you need to survive the odds.
