This would send you back to failures or worse to eventual downfall. Knowing yourself is one factor that may either be dangerous or productive. Self awareness often times help people realize how wonderful their creation was. They learn to give worth to their capacities and attributes that are obviously as special as those that may be found with other people. Sometimes, we just have to take risks so that we might discover what lies in our road. Taking risks though requires lots of faith in yourself. Without this, you would be like a warrior who has lost his armor. From birth, we were equipped with all the skills that we will use in the later stages of our lives. In fact, it is the accumulation of mishaps and lacks in the past that we are failing to unearth and give due remedy. It is the outcome of our failure to recognize who we truly are and what are the hampers to our own growth. Low self confidence is obviously delimiting. It would send us stomping on our endowed capacities and instead, take our failures as early defeats. This is very evident with those who go around bullying other people as well as the criminals who take pleasure in pushing people to disadvantage points. These people tend to have unrealistically high self confidence which lead to uncontrollable impulses. Thus, their sense of self becomes exaggerates that at times, they are being blinded by the realities that they truly have no sense of self worth at all. The realization would come as if something breathed life into you and awoke you from a long sleep. From your inner self comes the voice that would tell you what to do and how to do them. It would help you see the stock that you have- your talents, your skills, the crafts that you can do, the stuffs that you are really good at and all attributes that it can use to positively reinforce you. But it may also be used as a help to recognize other people's failure to act or when we become invisible ourselves. Invisibility is an entrapment we must all avoid to maintain an ideal state of confidence and self esteem. For with visibility, our attributes would be recognized and our value as a person would remain.
