Getting to know oneself

Extract from Robin Sharma’s “Discover your Destiny”.

I am reading Robin Sharma’s “Discover your Destiny” and I came a cross a few lines which I would like to share with you all. It is found in page 47 2^nd and 3^rd paragraph.

“No one can discover their destiny. Your destiny will discover you – it will find you, providing you have done the preparation and inner work required to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.”

“Here’s the key. Stop worrying about finding your destiny. Spend your time getting to know yourself. Tear down the façade you show to world and do the deep inner work on yourself needed to know who you really are. Focus on rebuilding your self-relationship. Get to know your deepest and truest values. Get to know your preferences and priorities – not those that others have taught you are the most important but those that you feel to be the highest value. Get to know what genuinely makes you fell happy. Bring the subconscious patters and ways reacting to things out into the light of your awareness, so they can be healed. Get to know your fears and how you came to make them your own. As you come to know who you are, you can then claim your destiny as it drawn closer to you. As you get to know who you truly are and what you are really all about, you will be able to seize that ‘cubic centimeter of chance’ when it pops out in front of you. And trust me, it will.”

Professional Victim (pg: 49 – 3^rd paragraph)

“Because playing the victim is easy. You do not have to assume any responsibility for the way your life hooks. You can blame everyone else for what’s not working in your life. Never having to look at yourself and make the changes required. But when you play victim, you assign away your power to that which you allege is victimizing you. It’s a very important way to live.”
