Who is that person staring back at you in the mirror each morning? You know, that subversive stranger who ruins your life?
The renowned Greek philosopher Socrates was fond of exhorting everyone he met to “Know Thyself” – and with good reason. Understanding your own Inner Game is a vital step towards embracing personal growth and maturity. And failing to identify what makes you “tick” is like drinking a lethal dose of psychological hemlock.
Because, let’s face it, you are your own worst enemy. And if we learned one thing from Sun Tzu’s Art of War, it is to “know your enemy”.
Yes, brilliant thinkers throughout the ages have been touting the merits of introspective self-awareness. History has spoken; the verdict is in: You need to know who stares back at you in the mirror – in order to stay two steps ahead of him.
Easier said than done, right? Not necessarily.
