Love Yourself, Use An Objective Review

Copyright (c) 2011 Karen Chai Kar Siang

Once in awhile, we do experience things not too pleasant in life. Be it a problem in your relationship, not earning enough, struggling over some obligations or problems concerning health; whatever it is, we ought to keep an open mind so that we can review the things that require improvement. Usually, it is best to do this with some form of objectivity instead of letting personal woes such as disappointments, fear or negative feelings take control. Clearly, these would lead towards rejection or giving up altogether on what is important in life. Our own weaknesses are worth more investigation than our strengths.

Take a piece of paper and list down the things that you do best and then the things that you do worst. Write down the things that you are proud of and the qualities that you lack in the adjacent column. Begin by identifying some of the things such as procrastination as a negative trait as well as things like indecisiveness over not getting something specific done on time under the list of things that you have not achieved. It is up to you to design your own weaknesses and strengths chart.But do not be carried away simply by designing the chart, instead focus on the things that reminds you most of yourself and start writing them down. The idea is to check against yourself once again where you stand in life; which a lot of us has not been doing. Know what you are still good at, so you would not overly penalize your own failures.

Next, is to chart the list of what you have been working on in life. This list covers mostly the things under progress or have not quite reached their levels of success as yet. For example, if you have always wanted to write, then are you already writing books or have a number of your pieces published anywhere already? What are the areas of expertise in your writing? Are you into copywriting or ghostwriting or why specifically do you choose that area in the first place? To really do good, one has to know ultimately what are the original purposes and intention of such undertakings. Was it for making money? Was it sheer passion? Or it was what you truly find enjoyable?

Sometimes, it becomes a passion because it is what we do best in life. Or sometimes it becomes our passion because it specifically targets our own weaknesses. What is important here is the need to bring those undertakings to another level. Eventually, you would find these things rewarding and brings about spiritual contentment. Perhaps too, this is the reason why we need a good idea of what our own limitations are in reference to the areas that we would truly require to work up and against. Aim to push away mediocrity as all things do require a solution indepth.

Ignoring the most important things in life would turn to become our very own stumbling block towards achieving what we are supposed to achieve in the long run. For example, if you thought that health maybe your greatest concern, then if you opt to live through without health to top your priority list, whatever it is that your endeavors are would in fact render less effective than you would otherwise. For sake of brevity, if you thought you should watch your health and yet alas you have not the time to eat what is right simply because you are overly busy working, then know that you are in fact working against yourself. It is important to act and to lead life based on your own good wills.
