Steemisode 04: Why you need Self Awareness

in life •  8 years ago  (edited)

The number one lie that society have sold to this generation is that we have to go to school in other to be successful.

I want you to pause from reading this post and think of ten celebrities you know, I am a hundred percent sure that none of them are doing what they learnt in school.

We fail to realise that we already came into this world prepared for it, that any other thing we get here is just an addition.

They have been a lot of situations where parents force their children to major is something that they feel will be good for them.

And when students start getting D’s and F’s they are considered to be a dunce. I don’t personally think that anyone is a dunce, I just believe that the current educational system is not meant for everybody.

Just imagine, which school on Earth would have taught @Dan and @Ned how to build steemit. In my last two episodes I talked about the power of dreams and its difference from ambition.

When I look at the world I see some people who have given up on life or people who have be labeled failures because they did not succeed in achieving what society felt that `they’ are meant to achieve.

The simple solution is Self-awareness, this simply means knowing the difference between who you are and who you wish you were. That is where a lot of people struggle, you have to be real with yourself.

A lot of people fail in what they are doing because though they are not good at it, they do it because they feel that is what they should be doing, or what the world has told them is good for them.

I struggled for a while because I did not truly know who I was, I followed people advice on what they felt would be best for me (what will give me a secured future).

You have to find out what you have to offer the world that no one else can.
