It’s almost as if the world is designed to distract us from working on what really matters most. Our phone buzzes, Facebook beckons, text messages call for us, and a thousand notifications spring to life. Our brains feel like they’re scattered in a thousand different places. 

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You’re not alone if you feel this way, but you’d be wrong. 

You know a lot less about yourself than just about anyone else in your life knows about you. 

We don’t see ourselves very well. We don’t really want to look. We’re afraid of what we’ll find. We avoid examining ourselves. We’d rather turn on the TV, find a snack, or watch videos online. Anything to avoid seeing the truth. 

As unpleasant as the truth may be, it holds the secret to greater levels of success. 

When you understand yourself, you can:

• Gain control over yourself
• Avoid your weaknesses and common
  pitfalls
• Understand and deal with your
  negative habits
• Have healthier relationships
• Choose a life path that suits you
• Find enthusiasm and happiness

We’re all suffering from a case of mistaken identity.
We’ve bought into the American dream like it’s a one-size-fits-all solution. We have jobs we don’t like, but we can’t figure out what we’d rather do.
We repeat the same mistakes over and over, but don’t have a clue we’re doing it. On the off-chance we recognize our repeated mistakes, we don’t understand why we’re doing them or how to change it.

Success is much more challenging without self-knowledge.

To be highly successful, it’s necessary to:

• Set big goals that are meaningful to you
• Utilize your strengths and avoid your weaknesses
• Deal with stress in a productive manner
• Know how to motivate yourself
• Overcome fear
• Persevere

All of these items are easier to accomplish if you know yourself. Without self-knowledge, luck becomes more of a factor.

In this ebook you will learn more about yourself and your opportunities for success.

The famous author, Ralph Waldo Emerson, considered self-reliance to be the avoidance of conformity and foolish consistence. He believed that people should develop their own ideas and beliefs. 

To others, self-reliance means stockpiling five years’ worth of food, buying a diesel generator, and building a bomb shelter. 

From a practical viewpoint, a self-reliant person is able to pursue original thoughts and ideas, while successfully navigating the basics of life without an unreasonable amount of assistance. 

This includes the ability to procure food and shelter, live a healthy lifestyle, earn a living, and maintain healthy relationships. 

Total self-reliance is neither possible nor desirable. No one can handle the challenges of modern day life without the assistance of others. Sooner or later, you’ll need legal assistance, a new transmission, or a trip to the emergency room. 

Total self-sufficiency would also exclude others from your life. Relationships are an important part of the human experience. Imagine how empty life would be without others to share in life’s ups and downs. 

What’s important is learning to take care of yourself to the best of your ability.
