Last week I told you that too many people don't know who they are.
Can't recognize their strengths and positive qualities.
Little to no self esteem.
People are good at seeing the surface.
I cook. I play video games. I have 3 kids. I'm a project manager.
In order to really know yourself,
and like yourself,
you have to go deeper.
You have to recognize and embrace your UNDERNEATH SKILLS.
These are the strengths and positive qualities below the surface that show the real you.
Let's say you are a cook.
Of course you have knife skills.
You can saute, fry, braise.
Now let's look at the underneath skills.
A cook prepares a meal so it all comes out together. Organized, with time management.
A cook manages multiple pots and pans at once. Multi tasker who can work under pressure.
When things don't go right, a cook finds a solution. Improvisational. Decisive. Problem solver.
Missing the right ingredient? Find something close enough. Resourceful. Creative. Versatile.
When you are in the kitchen, you are aren't just preparing food.
You are the person you want to be.
If you spend even 30 seconds looking for it, I guarantee you will find that you are so much more than a hobby or profession or familial title.
You always find what you are looking for, even if you are just looking at yourself.
Look for your underneath skills
and find who you really are.
Next week I'll explain exactly why the underneath skills are so important.
