October 28, 2015, TGIW: Unhumping Hump Day…Unrecognizable
By Darrell Gurney | Blog
“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” –Aristotle
There’s a lot to be said about knowing oneself and, as Uncle Ari asserts, it may be the beginning of wisdom.
Yet, too often we say or hear the phrases “That’s just not me” or “This is just the way I am.”
If that comfort-zone box is happy and cozy, then good for us.
If we really want to grow — outside of whatever past or current supposed dictates that life has give us — then maybe we can’t afford to claim such self awareness.
Knowing oneself may be the beginning of wisdom. Perhaps becoming unrecognizable to oneself is what comes next.
If you really didn’t “know yourself” for all the habits, limits, or ways of being you’ve claimed, what would be possible?
Got unrecognizability?
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” –George Bernard Shaw
