Download 14 Critical Self-Reflection Questions to Ask

Critical Self-Reflection Begins With Self-image

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.” —Napoleon Hill

 

Who are you? Your self-image plays a key role in the development of your character and influence in the world. According to John Maxwell’s Law of Awareness, you must know yourself to grow yourself.

 

Yet, often, the greatest blind spot we have is ourselves. We don’t know ourselves as well as we should. We certainly don’t see ourselves the way others do. Truly knowing yourself might be one of the greatest challenges you’ll ever face.

But it’s a challenge worth pursuing! Knowing yourself better has so many benefits. You become better at managing yourself and your life.
