The Importance Of Knowing Yourself
Knowing yourself is a very important task that one has to undertake and the most challenging as well. When one knows who he is and clearly understands what he wants, then he has a better option of discovering how to reach his own success, personal fulfillment and happiness.
Knowing one’s true and inner self will be of great help in working to reach one’s goals more effectively. It will guide one through the path to success. It will transport one to such calmness so to improve one’s attitude as well as one’s relationships and connections with others.
Psychologists devote their time helping individuals see and understand things within their inner self which they have long been suppressing from their own selves. This is natural, as people are skilled at such hiding games. Often, when one does not wish cope with a certain circumstance or situation, one denies that it had transpired, or translate it so to fit another different perception of the world.
Knowing yourself consequently, empowers and enables you to create different choices.
Success easily comes to those with pleasing personalities. However, this does not necessarily mean that one needs do what everyone wishes; rather, acquire a positive attitude of being respectful to the opinion of others at the same time remaining true to one’s own beliefs.
Don't expect to suddenly go on a certain course and immediately become aware and know yourself. This is a voyage where one can board and allow it to transform one’s life, for the better. The success of such journey depends deeply on how bravely you face yourself; on the way, you might discover certain things that you do not like and possibly opt to hide or deny it. Be strong and accept those negative things because it is only by accepting your faults can you truly change for the better.
Be open to accept and listen to the opinion of others, eager and willing to learn. Changing your judgment and views on account of more reliable facts is not a sign of weakness but of strength in your character. Always be inclined to offer help, be caring and polite but do not forget to keep your own personality.
The basic principle of knowing yourself is that every individual is responsible, in control and generate their own life encounter. This is a process very much complex that may be severely obstructed when one is unconscious of how one functions, or if one has a misunderstanding of thyself.
Rationalizations are used by many to give justifiable explanation for their actions. One can pretend that the problem is to be blamed on the other person. This is known as projection.
You therefore need to discover and improve your true person and not what others perceive you to be, and also not who you believe you must be, but the person that you truly are. How you manage your life, guide others, take charge, perform and behave in relationships really depends on how effectively you use your strengths and identify your weaknesses that you will discover when you truly know your "self."
Understand how you could guard yourself against responses triggered by emotions. You are vulnerable to miscalculation of judgment should you permit your emotions to interfere. Indeed, everything that one does is based on one’s emotions, but angry or careless emotions does not have a place when it comes to decision making. Take control of your emotions and delay conclusions, decisions and choices when in a very emotional state.
Develop enthusiasm in yourself. Enthusiasm draws good relationships and success. It is that positive outlook that radiates on you that individuals like dealing with. Your positive and enthusiastic outlook will contaminate and encourage those around you to also be enthusiastic and positive, therefore become cooperative.
Also, be ready to face unreasonable and negative people and never let them destroy you. Stay reasonable and calm.
Knowing yourself will enable you to develop your full potential and be happy, contented and fulfilled. Whether one’s idea and understanding of success speaks about fulfillment in business, friendship, love, sports, a blend of all these or another thing altogether, knowing yourself and working on to change for the better will enable you to achieve your goals. Then when you reach your goals, indeed you will turn out to be a much happier person. And that is success in its truest sense.

Manifest a Desire
Manifest a Desire

What does it mean to manifest a desire? Lets look at the
words manifest and desire. Manifest means to offer proof,
attest to or to display clearly.
So when we say manifest a desire, we say to display your
desire as having been fulfilled or to offer proof of
something.
For example if your desire is to have a house and
you eventually have gotten the house you wanted then
its safe to say that your desire has been manifested.
Now I have first explained what it means to manifest a
desire. So lets now talk about various ways that one can
manifest a desire.
One of the ways and the most popular way to manifest a
desire is through action. In other words you define what
it is you want or desire and you start working on it.
But is that the best way to manifest a desire? I think not.
Why do I say that. Action is effort and effort is taxing and
besides, there's no guarantee that you will manifest your
desires.
Just look around you in the world. Everybody is working
themselves to a standstill, but does it mean they are
getting what they want?
Hardly. They are just barely getting by. People are having
houses and cars but its not really theirs.
This is not really a good way to get the things you want.
There is another and better way to manifest a desire and it
is to use your mind. You see your mind is much more powerful
then many people realize.
When you use pure action to manifest your desires you are
chasing after something that is doing it's best to run away
from you. On the other hand, when you use your mind and the
laws of the Universe you are attracting what you want
towards you.
The benefits of using your mind to manifest a desire are
many, but let me give you just a few.
* It takes less time,
* It takes less effort,
* You are happier,
* You have time to spend with the people you love,
* Your success is guaranteed
However when you try to manifest your desire through pure
action, this is what you get.
* You may not enjoy what you do, like with most people,
because you only do it to manifest a desire,
* You are constantly tired
* You are frustrated and angry that things are nor working
out for you,
* You have no time for the people in your life because
you're constantly working.
So as you can see from the above. Action is no substitute
for pure focussed energy to manifest your desires faster
then you can imagine.
Remember the times when you believed in yourself and were
positive about something, how it went? And remember the
times when you did something mechanically without really
believing in it?
That's the power of belief and though demonstrated there.
You can manifest your desires and you can start today,
using your mind.
Attract success instead of chasing it. Visit my website

Act As If Your Life Was Perfect
Most of the time we live so far away from our ideal life that we even don’t notice. We either accept without complaining and live a life of silent desperation, or we don’t accept and fight against our own misery. Both ways lead us to exhaustion and fatigue. In this article I will propose very powerful ways to discover your ideal life and to start living it. You need to take pen and paper and a half an hour of your time. Aren’t you worth it? Here we go. This is an exercise of imagination. No need to be realistic, no need to resist, just have fun with it. Imagine for a second that you are walking around in a store called “The Store of Your Dreams.” Everything is for free, take anything you want. Beware: the store is open only for half-an-hour, so do not hesitate! Don’t start thinking about if what you are asking for is feasible, that’s not the issue right now. Also do not wonder if you will one day receive what you are asking for. Just let yourself be carried away to the “LAND OF ENDLESS OPPORTUNITY” and take whatever you wish, without limits. Remember, you’re in the dimension of imagination, not reality. In this store there are different parts : in one alley you can “take” your most happy relationship, in another alley your perfect children, in still another your dreamjob, your dream house, your best friends, the income you long for, and so on. Write down what is your greatest, most beautiful vision about these ten subjects : an intimate relationship, the relationship with your kids, your parents, your friends, your boss, your dream job, your dream house, your health, your wealth and your creativity. Write for every of these headings a few lines. Write in the present tense, and in a positive way, as if you had already what you wanted. For instance (for your intimate relationship) : I live a happy, respectful and passionate relationship with a tall, beautiful man (or woman); we have a lot of complicity together, we laugh a lot, we have an open confident communication; each of us has his own activities and freedom and we share a lot together; we give each other support and love flows freely and abundantly between us. For instance (for your income) : I receive so much wealth and money by doing what I really like that I can afford to offer myself everything I dream off and to offer my beloved ones everything they need. So you see, you write in the present time and don’t use sentences as “we have no problems” or words as “not, don’t, never, without…” Make positive statements. Take some time to write this down on paper. It really matters. Now you can give a score from 0 to 10 for every heading, telling how close your reality is to your dream. If you already live a relationship with your partner that fits entirely your description, you give it 10/10. If your relationship is lousy and far away from your ideal, give it 1 or 2/10. If you don’t have a relationship at all at the moment, it will be zero. It is immediately clear which parts of your life need to be worked at: those with the lowest score. It’s also clear which parts of your life are satisfactory already: those with the highest score. What you have written down here provides a vivid picture of the real you, and what your life could be like in reality. It is the blueprint of your life. Reality could be just like you have described it here, and even better! What can you do to accelerate the manifestation of your dreams? I propose you five different techniques : The best thing is to write your happiest vision down every day again (it only takes 15 minutes a day, aren’t you worth it?). Second best thing is to read your vision every morning and every evening, when your subconscious mind is open to receive this new information. You also could repeat short positive phrases in your head, like affirmations. You can make a “collage” of pictures representing your different dreams, and paste it on your wall so you can lay eyes on it every day. This will be a reminder for your subconscious mind to manifest your dreams. Every day, you should visualize in all details, with your eyes closed, how it would be if you had already your happiest relationship, job, house, and so on. Try to feel how it would be, and pretend you already are in this state of being. Act as if your dreams are already reality. You will notice very soon how your life resembles more and more your happiest vision. Anyway, the fact that you have made these very notes means that all of it exists, it just has not manifested yet. The more you occupy yourself with your real life plan, the one you have just written down, the more your environment will resemble it. You can repeat this exercise every six months and monitor your progress. It is fun and very efficient to bring your dreams to reality.
