Law of Success 2: A Definite Chief Aim-Know Yourself!

As read in Lesson 2 (A Definite Chief Aim), there are questions you should ask yourself to discover who you really are. This in turn can help you to understand others.

***
To know others, not as they seem to be but as they really are, study them through:
-the posture of the body and the way they walk
-the tone of the voice, its quality, pitch, volume
-the eyes, whether shifty or direct
-the use of words, their trend, nature, and quality
***

Hill suggests that these questions will open the windows (or doors) to a person's soul. You will be able to walk in and determine many things about people that you study.

Here are more questions to go even further in the study of yourself and others.
***
...study them:
-when angry
-when in love
-when money is involved
-when eating (alone, and unobserved, as they believe)
-when writing
-when in trouble
-when joyful and triumphant
-when downcast and defeated
-when facing catastrophe of a hazardous nature
-when trying to make a good impression on others
-when informed of another's misfortune
-when losing in any sort of a game of sport
-when winning at sport
-when alone, in a meditative mood
***

Hill suggests (and I agree) that you cannot to judge others at sight. Though appearances do count, they at many times can be deceiving.

I suggest that you cannot truly know your Definite Chief Aim (or life purpose) unless you truly know yourself through study of the self in all these questions, possibly more. You may think you know your DCA, but you cannot know the full scope of it until you know yourself. I myself am still discovering so many things about myself and making great improvements as I build more and shed the old man that I was in my early 20's. Though I knew my DCA/Life Purpose, I was not aware of the full effect my life should have on others across the globe. It was after I sat in meditative thought and truly understood how I could affect the lives of others that I knew there was great potential, instead of simply what I had settled for.

I suggest you take this week to sit and ask yourself these questions. Once you have discovered who you truly are, determine if you like who you see. If not change and become better. After this decide why you were put on this Earth. What are you choosing to do to make this a much better world?

As always feel free to leave thoughts that will be open for discussion.
