Are you that one person who often feels you have no voice as a person, especially in a room full of people? If YES, then this one is for you.
Having a sense of self is knowing who you are. It occurs when you are aware of the traits and characteristics that make up your personality. It has to do with knowing not just your strengths and your weaknesses but also those traits that make you stand out from the crowd.
Have you ever asked yourself to define who you are? Most times when asked this question, our explanation of one’s awareness of self feels like a mystery. It is often a difficult thing to describe verbally to someone.
In every part of the world, almost everyone is with becoming a better version of an aspect of themselves. However, when asked who we are, the majority babble around finding the right words to use to describe who they are. We, long for a strong sense of self.
Having a strong sense of self is one of the best things that could ever happen to anyone, especially if it occurs at an earlier period of their lives, without which it is never too late. It constitutes the bedrock for the development of self-esteem, self-love, and self-confidence. It also establishes the basis of how well you learn how to treat yourself with self-forgiveness and give yourself the chance to explore opportunities.
Due to the fragility of our human nature, we have the tendency to underestimate our potential. Until we are faced with challenges, we often do not know the extent to which we can go to get things done. This is because inside each one of us are traits and characters that are yet to be exploited because most of us do not have a strong sense of self.
Just like having self-love, having a strong sense of self is crucial, especially in the successes or failures of life. A sense of self gives you the ability to have a deep love for yourself even when you are full of imperfection. It gives you the courage to make the right choices in the midst of dilemmas. A strong sense of self is like having roots whose function is to deeper into the soil to pull the nutrients we need in our daily living. A strong sense of self gives you an understanding that you are the king or queen of your world and it teaches you when and how to set principles that govern your world.
Coming from a place of imperfection, some of us are trying to understand life from the angle of trouble and uncertainty. Most of at time we are faced with situations where we are bound to make a choice between standing for the right or the wrong. Sometimes, the choices we make question our integrity. In such a situation, having a strong sense of self enables you to know how to approach and manage adversities. With it, you are always conscious of your weaknesses and strengths. It helps you to be aware of when to use both to your advantage. It gives you the understanding that there is no better person to manage that adversity than you.
Having a strong sense of self spurs a hunger for change, improvement, and growth, the type of growth that stems from you actively participating in your life using your traits of both strengths and weaknesses.
