The Self Paradox refers to the contradiction between who we are vs who the world thinks we are.
Understanding who we are starts with your inner self
To avoid the Self Paradox, the first step is being able to articulate those things within you that you 100% control. These elements are your inner self – they come to you naturally and make you only.
Align your personal self to your inner self
Your personal self relates to your relationships with others, your health and the things you do for fun. These external influences can create different versions of who you are, which can contradict your onlyness and lead you down the wrong path.
Intentionally build your professional self
Your professional self provides you with financial security in the form of a career, job or study. Like your personal self these external influences can create different versions of you, which cause you to stray from your onlyness.
