When we are unaware of the usefulness of things, it is impossible for us to use them correctly. And this is not specifically aimed at manual tools, of course, on the contrary, there are psychological or mental tools that can work perfectly for us to encourage ourselves, and achieve greater performance in what we do.
It is not only about knowing how to use it, but about knowing that we have certain tools for our development. In this particular I say that there are many people who do not dare to do anything, or rather, they dare to very few things, and they never finish discovering themselves, they do not become what they could be, since they do not want to risk anything. , and therefore, they do not discover all that they are capable of.
I think we all have great tools, and to a great extent we never discover some of them because we submerge ourselves in a great monotony that doesn't let us move forward. It is understandable that life today is getting harder in many aspects and that it is not very good to put ourselves at risk of losing "safe things", but if we do not risk anything we will only stay as we are or even worsen.
Each thing has its reason for being, it may be that if we do not use it or use it for what does not correspond, we will damage it, or in the case of tools that have more to do with skills, we will lose the possibility of doing things with it, which could be of great benefit not only to us but to other people.
Being people made up of so many things, that we can analyze ourselves from multiple points of view, it is essential that we do not limit ourselves, since this would lead us to total chaos in which, over the years, we would end up regretting not having to have done more, to have not made the decision and the action to achieve what we could.
The limitations are usually set by ourselves, unfortunately, and it is the worst thing we can do. We are often in jobs that we don't like, that is, we use our tools in the wrong way, and this doesn't help us. Part of the unhappiness that many tend to have is because of this, because they do not give themselves permission to develop. I know that this requires a great degree of self-analysis, which makes us see that we are more than what appears and begins, of course, in accepting this as a truth.
Nice writeup
