To Know Thy Self is Devine

In the course of ones life if they can say that they truly know themselves they have accomplished much. One of the hardest and most rewarding things to be able to is to discover who you truly are as a person. This sounds simple but imagine all the times people are caught between decisions. For example when I was applying to Providence I had to decide whether I would pursue a degree in political science or pre-law. I couldn't for the life of me decide, I keep confusing my own will with my parents and my mentors ideas. I just couldn't decide what I truly wanted to do. This was because even today I still don't truly know myself. That day however I learned a little more about who I am as a person. As I made my decision I thought about a lot of things including all the reasons I ever wanted to pursue these two fields. As I thought I remembered why I had originally been interested in history and the study of government. I thought of my childhood watching the history channel and being fascinated with the different history's and politics of foreign nations. I related everything to the tails of great American heroes. Then I began to ponder why I had considered pre-law. The answer was my interest in pre-law was just and extension of my great passion for history and politics. The idea of pre-law was put into my head by my parents who believed that it would help me to be better prepared for law school after my stead in college. Although their idea was valid and had no manipulating malice the fact was that it didn't fit who I was. I love history and because I realized this about myself I gained greater knowledge about not only what I want to do with my life but also information that I can use the next time in need to make a tough decision. To truly know ones self is all empowering, imagine all the insight one could possess if they just knew what to pursue. Some people spend their entire lives looking for the right job that fits them or looking for their purpose but can never find what really makes them happy. When one is truly aware of themselves they are able to not only master their strengths but also avoid and control their weaknesses. My greatest weakness is my tendency to procrastinate. I always put off school work or other things I need to do. I wait too long at times to start my work and I have seen it affect my life, I have missed out on many things that I truly wanted because I waited to long. my tendency to procrastinate has hurt me not only in school but in my personal life. My parents and my family are often very upset with me over an assortment of common grievances that all stem from my inability to just get my act together and finish my work. For me this terrible weakness is truly a plague, because inside I know I want to get my work done I just can seem to settle down and do it. I can remember literally wasting an entire Saturday doing a simple little project for my social studies class because if couldn't seem to get into the work I just sat around moving from room to room doing stupid stuff and playing around. Ten hours later I am staring at the clock wondering were all the time went. I hate having weakness I feel that there is not excuse for being particularly weak in one areas however at times I just cant seem to help myself, its like I am impeding my own forward progress because I cant get out of my own way. It is extremely frustrating to have to deal with this kind of hindering problem because I also know what it feels like to be right on the ball. There are times when I am ready and on time with everything getting my work done and doing what I have to do. When I compare the to selves I begin to realize that my problem lies more with my motivation than any inability to focus. because i know myself I am able to combat my weakness by creating goals for myself to keep on task but for me my greatest weakness will always be my procrastination. I would like to think that I process many strengths that can be considered my great strengths. However I believe my greatest strength is my shrewdness. Throughout my life I have used my cunning to get me out of tight situations and to gain superior edge on my opponents. I have always been able to speak well and this is important when you need to talk yourself out of trouble. I have always trusted my mouth to win in situations where a clever tongue is the only affective means of escape. When I was younger I used my shrewdness and my ability to speak to get me out of many slippery situations at our old pool club. One example of this was when I changed the specials board on the snack bar and wrote explicit things on it I was able to convince the club manager that it was not me and in fact none the kids at the club because none of use were in the vicinity at the time of the incident. These skills are not only useful for getting out of trouble but they are also helpful in all of life. Being prepared to talk or argue something is a skill that few people have. to present a clear logical argument with out planning ahead of time is an extremely useful skill. being able to think on your feet is something that i believe is invaluable in this world, it gives you me not only power but also a sense of confidence that allows me to function better. I have really gained appreciation for the power that a series of quick well placed words can have on people. I believe my ability to think quickly and cleverly I still my greatest strength. People often say that they have trouble writing or talking about their strengths and weaknesses. They say that they feel uncomfortable bragging about their strengths and that they don't recognize their faults. This is true in some cases however if you know yourself well this should be no challenge. I feel that I know myself quite well, I had no problem looking at myself from a distance and realizing what my faults and strengths are. My faults are very apparent in my person however my strengths are harder to define because a lot of them intertwine into one idea. However, I can say with certainty that I have a very good fix on what my strengths and weakness are. I don't know if most people take the time to sit down and think. Who am I as a person? If more people did then they would not have such a hard time speaking about their strengths and weaknesses. The only reason I can see why people difficulty finding the pros and cons of their character is that they are not familiar with their own person. they don't know what makes them tick or what drives them to succeed. These motivating concepts have been left unanalyzed within many of these peoples heads. They are constantly unconsciously driving them to do things however the people who they run have no idea why they are doing what they are doing because they never took the time to self reflect on who they are. That is why people who don't know themselves have no idea of what their best traits are and those who have looked into their own souls know who they are.
