Knowing yourself also includes knowing your dark side. Understanding the darker parts of your personality does not mean that you become them and let them control you- but that you are aware of them, know their power and can tap into the power and make it useful.
By making it useful, I do not mean use it to get your own way by controlling or harming others. There are ways to harness the energy and use the same power for the benefit of the greater good.
What are your weak areas? What are your faults? Where do you show weakness of spirit in your personality? Conquer them and make them into strengths, and gain command.
Acceptance and acknowledgement is the first step. The will to make it into a positive is the second.
Blessed Be,......
