Know Yourself


There is something that is rarely talked about in our day-to-day lives.  
Self-awareness.


How important is it?

Imagine your soul got out of your body and you don't know you are, you don't know your name, height, your facial features, your address, and everything about you. For sure, you'll get lost, you will never find your way home because you don't know yourself.

The pursuit of self-awareness is not a waste of time. In fact, it is truly worth it, it produces great results. People who are self-aware know their strengths, know their weaknesses. They know what will make their hearts on fire, and they also know what will make it cold and passive. These people are truly aware of what they are made of and what can they bring to the table.

Are you happy? Are you sad?

Are you doing things that you enjoy?

Do you spend enough time with the good influencers in your life?

You have to audit yourself. You have to reflect. Auditing is so pivotal to being able to succeed in thinking about how to understand yourself, your circumstances, and your environment much better. It becomes what would be considered a competitive advantage.

 Auditing ourselves makes things clearer. It makes us understand and know what are the things we are good at that we can focus on.


Use it to your advantage

"Self-awareness is being able to accept your weaknesses while focusing all of your attention on your strengths." -Gary Vaynerchuk 

 What works for person A, doesn't necessarily means that it will work for person B. We all have a different skill set. You can always be the best in the things that you are really good at if you put time on it. Your friend that is good at basketball, you can always beat them at your own sports. There is always some that you are good at, and your assignment is to find it. 

 Self-awareness allows people to recognize what things they do best so they can then go hard on those aspects of their life. It also helps you accept your weaknesses.

Accept your shortcomings, you're only human after all. Focus on your strengths or better double time on your strengths. Use it as your most powerful weapon to success, it is the key to your dreams in life.

A Cafe Owner’s Perspective

Image
  Entrepreneurship, as defined by Merriam Webster, is the art of creating, launching, and managing a business . But being the owner of Splendid Brews, I've come to realize that it's more than just that. Running a café is like painting a picture, a labor of love, and an ongoing adventure. Behind the cozy atmosphere and the inviting smell of freshly brewed coffee at Splendid Brews, there's a lot of hard work. From dealing with permits to carefully handling supplies, creating effective ads, making sure everything runs smoothly, and leading a team of dedicated baristas, my journey as a café owner means I have to be skilled in many areas. As Gary Vaynerchuk wisely says , "Success in business needs training and discipline and hard work. But if these things don't scare you, there are just as many opportunities today as there ever were." Embracing entrepreneurship at Splendid Brews means accepting the challenges and understanding that they're a big part of what I

How Fitness Changed My Life

We all know that the word fitness usually relates to having a well-toned chest, rock solid abs, chiseled biceps and titanic triceps. But what does fitness really means?  According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, fitness means   "The quality or state of being fit" s o it doesn't necessarily mean that it's all about physical appearance, it can also be our state of mind our mind, spiritual life and other aspects our lives. I started working out last 2016 and I can say that I learned a lot of things from it. Here are some of them 1) Action speaks louder than words. A lot of people will tell you "Magdidiet na nga ako eh" or "Next month magpupunta na ko sa gym" but in reality they never did. It will all come down to action, the more you act on it, the more you will see progress. 2) You don't cheat to win. Kagaya ng mga magjojowa, cheating is a big "no". You can not expect progress when you cheat. You will not

Panatang Makabayan

"Sisikapin kong maging isang tunay na Pilipino sa isip, sa salita, at sa gawa." Panatang Makabayan, pinakabisado sa atin to mula elementarya hanggang hayskul. Napakaganda ng mensahe pero naisasapamuhay ba natin? Sa isip Nag-iisip pa ba tayo ng kapakanan ng ating bayan o sa pansariling interes na lang?  Maraming mga Pilipino na kapag nakakakita ng mga matatagumpay na kababayan nila ay madalas may mga negatibo pa rin silang nasasabi. Halimbawa na lamang ang pambansang kamao na si Manny Pacquiao, noong nasa rurok pa siya ng boksing ay sobrang daming sumusuporta sa kanya ngunit ngayon na humihina na siya, marami na siyang kritiko na maraming negatibong bagay na sinasabi sa kanya.  May mga kababayan din tayo na mas iisipin ang sarili kaysa sa bayan. Pinakamagandang halimbawa na lamang dito ay ang kwento ni Andres Bonifacio. Pinapatay ng kapwa Pilipino dahil may mga taong ganid sa kapangyarihan o mataas na posisyon na gustong alisin siya sa mataas na
