It is very important to know one's self for at least three reasons:
First, you have to live with yourself 24/7. No one in your life will be with you as much
as you are with yourself. Would you live with a stranger for so long without knowing
anything about them? Essentially, it is about self-awareness.Who you are, what you
like and want, where you are going, what makes you happy and what makes you
irritated. Those are very important things to know if you are to improve the quality of
your life and take advantage of the things which make you glow.
Second, self-awareness builds confidence. The more you know about you, the greater
you will feel emotionally and the more adept you will become at dealing with
situations. You then become more intuitive about what works for you and what
doesn't. Self-awareness is a powerful tool for improving competence because you will
be pushed along directions which make you feel good rather than living in a vague
way from day to day, not knowing how you feel or what you should do.
Finally, self-awareness boosts identity. If you don't know much about your
background, history, culture, gender and what you value, how will you get on with
others in mutual respect? They cannot respect what they don't understand. People
who lack self-awareness tend to be ambiguous and make others feel uncomfortable
because they are never sure what to do. So ignorance about the sel is not a good thing.
Self-awareness builds self-esteem through personal appreciation.
Knowledge is power, but the greatest power is self-knowledge. If you do not really
know much about you, how can you appreciate others? Most important, how can they
value and appreciate you too?
What does it mean to know oneself?
Knowing yourself is beyond figuring out your favorite color, your ideal mate, your
favorite pet or everything about your best friend. We are no longer in high school
thank heavens where being “yourself” meant being just like everyone else, acting
stupid and defying our parents and teachers!
Knowing yourself is a deeper, greater and slower process. It is a road that is long and
winding and you must be ready to travel it. It brings you face-to-face with your self-
doubts and you need your inner confidence to push through it. But it is a journey that
pays in abundance, the magnificence of this rose blossoming before you.

Knowing yourself means respecting your values in life, your beliefs, your personality,
your priorities, your moods, your habits, your magnificent body, and your
relationships. For me, knowing myself means devoting time to my yoga because the
body movements and br eathing take me to where I truly belong.
Knowing yourself means understanding your strengths and weaknesses, your passions
and fears. It means being aware of your eccentricities and idiosyncrasies, your likes
and dislikes, your tolerances and limits, your insecurities and your fears.
Knowing yourself means knowing your purpose in life.
You are not born knowing yourself. You do not get to know yourself simply by growing
up and growing old. Knowing yourself is a conscious effort; you do it with intention
and purpose.
Not knowing yourself becomes obvious sooner or later. A quiet frustration lives in your
heart when you do not know yourself. You may choose to live with it and ignore it
or you may choose to start getting to know yourself.
A Get to Know Yourself Mini-Guide:
1. Get to Know Your Personality: Maybe are the type to take personality and
assessment tests. Maybe you can just observe and listen and collect bits and pieces of
the puzzle that will make the whole come clear for you. I prefer the latter but either
way, get to know your personality inside out. Who are you behind your name? What
are your characteristic traits? What image do you portray to the outside world? What
