Rediscover myself

Wow! I finally gotten the account back. The last post was 2 years ago, I was supposed to pen down every stage of the journey but I lost the account for quite some time. Now that I have gotten it back, I shall continue blogging.

It’s also a good moment to record. Fast forward 2 years, we are much bigger now. Sometimes when I look back at the target we set, we have achieved so much more. But then, without those target, we would not be where we are today.

For this chapter, I wanna talk about rediscovery of myself. I have been building the company since day one, banging wall, and failing here and there. Definitely won’t skip credit for that. Still, as a person who is hungry for growth by nature, I reached another obstacles, bottleneck, threshold, whatever you call it.

And this time round, after tirelessly looking for solution, I look into myself. Yes, fundamentally there is a problem that I need to solve. It is SELF AWARENESS.

Self awareness is knowing who you are and accepting the fact. Self awareness is knowing your strength, and acknowledging your weakness. Self awareness is admitting everything about you truthfully. Self awareness is be as naked as possible to yourself.

After knowing who I really am, my weakness, my strength, I need to work around these. I came to realise that I am good at planning and bad at xxxxxxx (not disclosing here). So I need to get help on that.

When we were younger, we were taught that thing is either wrong or right. But I think this is the biggest mistake in our belief system. There is no absolute right or wrong. Perspective matters. And there is no single absolute best solution or method.

Accepting who you are allows you to build things the way you want.
See, end goal can be the same, but methods can vary. Different individual does thing differently, yet producing equally good result.

After all these turbulence of understanding myself, how my mind works, things suddenly become so much clearer. And I feel so relieved. Of course, there are so many things to do to finally reach this understanding. I believe it’s a journey everyone needs to go through by himself. Or may be it’s just me, who is so complicated. Then again, I accept me being such a complex person :)
