Self-Assessment Is Important

“Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.”

― Shannon L. Alder

Self Assessment

It is important for one to keep on carrying a self-assessment from time to time. This will help one to check his or her progress in life. This assessment will involve checking where one has come from, where the person is at the moment and where one wants to be in the future. You will also need to ask yourself some hard questions. After this self-assessment, one will be able to see if he or she is moving forward, is stagnant or worse moving backwards.

Depending on the results you get, you will then be able to decide what to do. The self-assessment will give you the truth of the matter. It will then be possible to enhance oneself and gear yourself to higher achievement.
