Personal Growth:
Take off the Mask and Know Yourself
Do you know who you truly are, or have you convinced yourself that you are the mask that you show the people around you? Sometimes it can get hard to know the difference between the two. However, if you never really get to know yourself, you will never quite feel balanced or happy. How can you know what to do to bring yourself happiness if you don’t even know who you truly are? Furthermore, without knowing yourself, you won’t be able to identify the nature of the problems in your life, and may never fully resolve them.
Use the following steps to help you to become more self-aware, and achieve greater fulfillment from your life. You may be quite surprised at what you discover!
- Spend quality time with yourself – this doesn’t just mean being alone. And indeed, it isn’t always easy for you to come up with time to do something all by yourself that doesn’t have to do with chores, children, or work. However, when getting to know your true self – taking off the mask – it is essential to spend time with you, and do what you enjoy. Think about it this way: when you’re getting to know someone else, you do things together that you enjoy, and that will inspire thoughts, reactions, and emotions. It’s the same with knowing yourself. Do things that make you think, make you react, and make you feel!
- Keep a journal – buy yourself a notebook – doesn’t need to be expensive or fancy, just something you’ll be comfortable writing in – and write down all of your thoughts and feelings. Remember that you’re not writing a letter or a novel, so it doesn’t need to make sense. It’s just an outpouring of what’s on your mind on any given day. Try to keep this journal every day, writing things like your wants, needs, values, goals, feelings, and experiences if you feel like it. Many people find that they sleep better after writing in a journal, and they find that their thoughts are more organized because they have forced themselves to put the concepts in their heads into words on a page.
Spend some time with counselors, teachers, mentors, or someone else who can guide you – this doesn’t necessarily mean a professional, but it can be if you want. Just find someone with whom you are comfortable speaking about your deepest feelings, and who is willing to give an honest, impartial opinion. It will help you to understand who you really are – flawed and fabulous. |

Testimonials
"I have received my package, thank you. After opening the box and seeing my Degree, I felt a sudden change. I felt like I was growing taller, I became more secure and articulate with a different kind of confidence. It's hard to explain. I just know that I am so very excited and possess such motivation to do greater things. My entire demeanor, attitude and outlook on life was revamped.
Thank you so very much for my beautiful plaque, my T-Shirt and everything else. I especially like the presentation, very classy. Very nice plaque and unique wallet copy. You are all phenomenal! Please thank everyone who has helped to make this possible."
