Know Thyself
How well do you know yourself?
I can tell you about lists, and tactics, and tips until I'm blue in the face, but the truth behind mind management is that every single mind is different. Mind Management is about unlocking what makes YOU tick, and then structuring your life in a way that best takes advantage of your strengths and overcomes your weaknesses. In order to achieve this, you need to know what those strengths and weaknesses are.
Over the next few posts, I will take you through a series of thought-exercises that will help you discover some key facets of your own personality, and some tips to maximize your potential based on these facts. Every single person is different, and I don't think you should necessarily try to change what makes you who you are. Armed with the knowledge, however, you can come to realize why some things are easier or more fun to you, or why some things seem to stress you out, but not others. You might discover that a facet of your personality is restricting you from achieving "success" as you've defined it. You may discover that your personality is perfectly suited for a different type of success!
Now, once again: I'm little more than an arm-chair psychologist. I'll mostly be repeating theories that I've picked up from various other books, courses and sites. You'll need to take the theories with a grain of salt - none are 100% correct - but the ones I'll be repeating are the ones that I, personally, have derived the most value from in my own life.
The concepts we will explore in this series are:
- Locus of Control: who has the power in your life?
- Hierarchy of Needs: Where will you find happiness?
- Motivation: What types of things will motivate you the most?
- Introversion and Extroversion: What's the difference, and what does it mean for your happiness?
