Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. – Aristotle
We can all be better.
Read this with that understanding. While I will call you out, I am calling myself out and every other fella out as well simply because on the mountain that is our lives, we’re barely making a dent in our climb to our potential, as we are now.
We’re weaker than we can be physically, mentally, and spiritually. We’re lazier than we need to be, we complain more than we should, we envy and see the world with a cynical tint. We all do it from time to time. But we shouldn’t.
The path to manning up requires you to be self-aware.
If you aren’t rooted in humility, you will see no room for growth. On the flipside of that coin is confidence. If you think so low of yourself that you aren’t worthy of improvement, you’ll do nothing to better your situation either.
You must see yourself as you are, not as others see you nor as society would like you to see yourself.
