Self-realization plays an important factor in success, as we perceive it to be. It takes work to make anything happen, make anything successful.
In Piero Ferrucci’s What We May Be, he says, “The only way to accomplish valuable results in the work of self-realization is by being realistic about our human limitations.”
By working for something, by working on yourself above all things, new ideas are uncovered. Limits you have. What can really be reached and what cannot. It all comes with working with sacrifice. Putting other things aside to work on the most important thing in life. Working on something that will ultimately bring you success.
One reference from the book relates working on the inner self to a kaleidoscope. When you first look into it, the colors inside are all shaken up, all jumbled. But when you get it steady, the colors all form a beautiful pattern.
Time spent working for success is valuable. In most cases, a transformation isn’t even recognized until it’s already long begun. Therefore, becoming self aware through hard work brings you a great success.
Practice knowing yourself. Practice it hard enough and you can realistically create that happy ending that’s molded in the back of your mind. Practice it hard enough and through learning your limits, you can reach for an ultimate goal. When you get that far uncovering new things about your inner self, it pays off.
That’s when you know that what you may be depends heavily on who you are.
