This quote is by Aristotle who is considered one of the greatest philosophers of all time.

The big idea here is to make a real impact in this world, you first need to know who you really are.

Here’s how this applies to us and self-improvement:

  • We all think we know ourselves. But in reality, we are different in front of people. We wear a mask depending on who we are interacting with and based on how we want to be perceived in that situation.
  • But if you want to truly live the life of your dreams, it starts knowing yourself.

So, let’s put this into action:

  • Start by looking in the mirror and asking yourself who you really are. If you cannot be true to yourself you cannot be true to anyone else.
  • Start being more authentic. This will take time. It’s like building a muscle, the more you practice the better you get.

Hey, before I forget…
