Life is not a bed of roses. It is like a roller coaster full of ups and downs. It is our choice to just scream or enjoy the ride.
Michael Rodriguez
Do you know who you are and what you want in life? Many of us go through life reacting to our environment and just let things go by instead of making conscious choices on what we are and what we want. If you do not know yourself how you can you be proactive and set goals and plan a course of actions to achieve what you want.
Apparently, the journey of our life is not easy and plain sailing. As we sail along we encounter challenges, obstacles, problems, barriers and crises. Take the right decision at the right time and it will lead us to happiness, accomplishments, satisfaction and success. Take a wrong decision and we are caught in a rut and are doomed to frustrations, miseries and failures.
KYKO (an acronym for know yourself know others) assists us to make the right decisions, and to find the right solutions to our problems as we sail along the uncertain, stormy sea of our life’s journey.
It is vital and wise to “Know Yourself” (KY). By knowing yourself you will know:
