When you don’t know that you don’t know…

One interesting fact about yourself is, you are probably not the person who knows about you the most. You may (want to) be the best you there can be, but you may not be the most go to person if someone wants the most honest opinion about you.

Self-reflection can be the most revealing and truthful moment of your life. It is not until you have taken good time to reflect on yourself, your pros and especially your weaknesses that you may be able to be that best you, you want to be.

BOSI DNA experience…

I took a self-exploration tour this week on the BOSI DNA website. Answering the questionnaires that would help me determine my DNA made me realize how different I was from what I thought of myself. And then there was the MEST monthly review. The honest truth is, if only you will be patient enough to hear what people think of you or how they see you, you will realize to your own advantage, the little things you do that make you undesirable or inefficiently you. I realized to my amazement, how much I ignored the details of myself that made me who I am.

Writing about someone…

It was not until I wrote about a friend some time ago this year that I realized how much I knew about her and how little she knew of herself. Perhaps once in a while we all need someone to describe us to ourselves.

Watching yourself in a video

Another very revealing way to notice all the little things that you do is to watch yourself in a video in a scene you think you are the most comfortable in. Notice how you talk, look around, control the crowd, stand, smile and all the manners you thought made you the BEST you there was.

So when you don’t know that you really don’t know who you are, you are really not the most efficient person you are supposed to be and someone could easily play that role better for you.
