Learn Yourself
Self-knowledge is the most crucial factor which one may understand about themselves. He which knows how to wield his own power is one which is able to achieve all that he is faced with. He overcomes his frailties by first understanding what they are, by learning how to bolster them and how to use this process to better himself as a whole. He which wipes away the vain ideas of self-victimization is guaranteed to bequeath a better path of life in this world. Therefore, instead of kneeling towards tension, he must rise to the prospect of becoming more than he once was. By establishing which area in life is needed for improvement, what area is needed for one’s betterment and what area is needed in life for ascension does not come from external forces; it comes from the internal struggle which drives all forces. The truth of self-knowledge is that it derives a fruitful sense of power over oneself. You don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to your level of training. We must ensure that our self-knowledge is stronger than another’s knowledge of us and that the only way to be free in the heart is to be free in mind.
