How well do you know yourself?

Self-awareness is one of the most important qualities for growth, especially for a leader and this quote by Carl Jung is so powerful at conveying this message: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate”.

How many of us have said “That’s just the way I am”?
What meaning have you given to the events in your life? What image do you hold of yourself?
Is it serving you?
Is it time to change your story?

All your actions, feelings, behaviours, even your abilities are always consistent with this self-image.

The good news is your self-image can be changed.

The work of a plastic surgeon has clearly shown the dramatic and sudden changes in character and personality after changing a person’s physical image.

Take this example – A scar on the face of a soldier is a badge of honour and leads to increased confidence and self-esteem, while a scar on the face of a salesman leads to a loss of self-confidence and self-esteem.
