Know thyself - The power of self-knowledge
by Oswaldo Koch

The Ancient Greek maxim "know thyself", was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Know thyself has had a variety of meanings attributed to it in literature; the maxim is applied to those whose boasts exceed what they are; the maxim is a warning to pay no attention to the opinion of the multitude. Know thyself is about understanding what we value most, learning about what is most important to us and why it's important to us. Know thyself is a journey of knowing and understanding our belief system, the self-knowledge of beliefs that empower us and beliefs that prevent us from achieving what we want from life.

In developing greater understanding of our thoughts and actions, we must recognize both our strengths and our weaknesses. Nobody likes to admit their weaknesses. Yet, when we gain self-knowledge - both appreciating our strengths and confronting our weaknesses - we are opening up new possibilities for personal growth. Self-knowledge can also help us be more efficient and focused in producing change because we'll know precisely what we need to work on.

Be open to change. We are always in the process of change both physically and environmentally. When weaknesses are identified, it doesn't mean that we're incapable of change. Rather than being uncomfortable with facing our weaknesses, we have to be willing to consider the information in a positive and constructive way. It may be that we haven't had to use these skills well enough.

As we grow and mature we will have many different experiences and those experiences will help us gain self-knowledge. Books, articles, and workshops by experts may offer information, perspectives, and insights that can help us gain self-knowledge, be more efficient, creative and focused in developing new skills and positive habits.

Be Proactive

Being proactive means taking conscious control over your life, setting goals and working to achieve them. Instead of reacting to events and waiting for opportunities, you go out and create your own events and opportunities. Being proactive means that instead of merely reacting to events as they happen, you consciously engineer your own events.

For example: A healthy style is not about strict diets, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it's about feeling great, having more energy, and keeping yourself as healthy as possible- all of which can be achieved by being proactive and planning your daily activities. You can change the way you are eating, and start training more regularly to achieve your goals. Every day is an opportunity to feel amazingly well about you.
