7 'knows' You Need To Know

by Aanu Oyedele 

Life is a cycle and to many, a rollercoaster and even to some, a game forest filled with adventures. Most times, we assume to have known all what life really entails and yet we are not progressing with what we have known and this is actually causing us to live a life filled with mediocrity.

Life is actually filled with ups and downs. Today, you feel good, agile, peaceful and elevated but tomorrow, you are at the rock bottom, broken, sober, wearied and depressed. We all have these kind of moments but I want to let you understand that there is always the sun at the end of every tunnel.

Basically, there are certain things we really have to know regarding our life and these things will help us a lot to accomplishing our set goals and targets. Kindly follow through as I share with you Seven 'knows' you have to know

1. Know who you are.

Some people out there love to copy others around them. We have made it an habit to copy celebrities and other sets of people. To live a life filled with innate joy, you really need to who you are. In a paraphrase, I call this Identity. 

Identifying yourself, personalities, character and everything about you makes you not to copy anyone because you are an original.

Note: I am not negating the fact that you should not have a role model you need to look up to- I have tons of them- all I am saying is you are an original vessel and you are nothing compared to the role model . Be yourself and understand who you are.

2. Know what you are wired for.

You are created by God for something spectacular, you are wired for something. You do not just exist as a carcass. You are created and wired for something great.

Discover what you are wired for in terms of your talents, skills, interests, admirations, passion, purpose, giftings, among others. This will save you from living a life of mediocrity and give you upper hand above your contemporaries and save yous from copying others.

3. Know where you are coming from.

What is your background ? Do you have at past either good or bad. Acknowledge them because this will give you some sort of motivation and inspiration to gear up yourself towards the best.

It is important for you to know where you are coming from. You have walked a long way to be where you are today. Acknowledge that fact !

4. Know where you are going.

Do not just glory about your present haven. You have acknowledged your past, you have known your background. Please do me a favour by knowing where you are going. What is your aimed destination, what place do you target in the future ? Do not get stucked on today, know your tomorrow.

5. Know what you want to do.

What career path do you want to tread upon ? What are those things you want to do as of now or at the future ? It is very essential to know what you want to do! 

For instance, do you want to build the largest foundation in the world, do you want to end poverty rate in your country ? Think on what you want to do that will have a lasting impact and legacy.

6. Know who are for you and against you.

In life, you must definitely know those who are really yours and those who are your adversaries. Know your confidants and your drainers-folks that drain your power, morale, life. This will help you not to mix your relationship up and thereby causing you heartbreaks constantly.

7. Know what you want out of life.

As for me, I want the very best that God has promised me through Jesus Christ. I want to be a gem, a success, a significance, a life changer. I really want to be great even more then Alexander the great. Determine what you also want out of life and you will enjoy life living.

FINAL NOTE

Though, you will have challenges in knowing and being what has been highlighted above all you need to do is to have the 'attitude of a champion' in which I will analyze for you next week God willing.

Life always compel us to be the best gift to the universe. I strongly believe in your success !
