You Need You the Most.

As we wait for the other parts to my first article here, I have taken the initiative to digress a little to briefly teach something that is very important to life growth. This principle is what everybody knows but still are guilty of not following it in details as it's suppose to be followed.
On your road to success and self fulfillment in life, the first ingredient that has to be present is yourself (You). Nobody can or would live your life for you, if you're not present to ask for what you need to grow, even the people that are around to help you would act on their own knowledge and help you with things that you do not need instead of the ones you need, because you've delegated the decision making in your life to them, instead of you being there for yourself to make these decisions for yourself. Many people are disconnected from themselves, they do not have enough time for themselves, they do not make decision for themselves, they invest so little into themselves but still complain day in day out about how they are not growing in life. The fact remains that without you, you cannot grow in life. Sometimes, people set their life in motion and that is all they would do, they expect other people around them to help them drive their lives forward, they refuse to take charge of the wheel, many delegated this to their spouse, parents, friends and some total strangers, these people can know a little about what you want, but the only person on earth that know what is best for you is you.
So many people make the mistake of growing their work, their job, don't get me wrong, I am not asking you to quit your job so that you can work on yourself, but any job that doe not offer you self fulfillment and development in life is no the kind of job that is worth sticking with.
There are so many things we do personally in life to develop ourselves, no one will do these things for you, no one would read that book and understand it for you, no one would make that self developing research on your behalf, everybody is busy pursuing one thing or the other that has nothing to do with developing your own personal life, so you cannot delegate you to someone else. An Irish proverb said; you've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. No matter your background in life, self development can only be don by you. You can have the whole wealth in the world and still remain unfulfilled because you've deprived yourself of you.
As you move forward in life, decide to develop yourself by dedicating your you to yourself, take time out for yourself and pursue the things that makes you feel fulfill.
Remain blessed as you move forward.
