Know Yourself to Show Yourself

It's time to come out of hiding to live the life you really want to live

Here's a little story for you.

Once, there was a little girl. She wanted to grow up and do big things. And grow up she did. But she grew up with big opinions and preconceived notions that filled up the space that was meant to host her ambition, her drive, the motivation to do things her way and to think outside the box.

She was boxed in, basically.

Now, this young girl grew up and discovered Neurolinguisitic Programming or NLP. And out of the 16 presuppositions that are practiced in NLP, one changed her life.

But first, let us talk a little bit about presuppositions. A presupposition is exactly what it sounds like - it is something that you presuppose before the actual event has happened, or the actual eventuality has perspired. Out of the 16 presuppositions, her favorite one was:

If any one can do it, anyone can do it.

She remembered the day it was covered in class. She had quietly asked a question:

"What if I am supposed to be the first 'Any One' who does it for anyone to do it thereafter?"

The mentor had smiled kindly and said, "Well, then the next presupposition for you to take on is clear as day - Anything is Possible."

When we decide we are going to be the 'any one' who is going to live by the rule of "anything is possible," here are a couple of things that happen:

1. We create the basis for a new reality to appear for us
2. We see ourselves in a whole new light in this new reality
3. We take on a new identity in light of this perception
4. We get to know ourselves even more
5. Because we are doing things that we had never done before

When we decide to fully know ourselves like this, with the knowledge that anything is possible and that we are the Any One who can do something that anyone can do thereafter, we show ourselves fully. If you are scared of showing who you truly are and hiding behind someone you think you are expected to be, then you do not know yourself fully as yet.

And this may be because you have not yet done something that no one has done - something that only you have conceived and can do. When you know yourself like this, you also get to know:

1. Your competencies
2. Your overreaching competencies
3. Your overstretched competencies
4. Your undelying competencies that have not been claimed fully, but just waiting to burst on to the canvas of Anything is Possible
5. Your true capabilities and how you can bring them out

So, when you write the script of what you want to do - show yourself fully to yourself by knowing yourself fully. Ask these questions to get started on this journey:

1. What do I want to do?
2. Why am I the right person to do this?
3. How can I do this in the best possible way?
4. What is the best possible way for me?
5. How can the answers to 3 and 4 meet?

The last answer is where your sweet spot is. That is where you can find yourself truly and know what you are capabale of, without a doubt. And that is what will help you show yourself in the best light as well!
