Know your self

The self is the "I," "Me," "Mine," etc. we call our self.  It is our thinking, our body, our emotions, our ego, and our feelings. The self is who we think we are. It is that person we see when we look in the mirror, the person whose emotions and pain we feel and the person whose thoughts keep us awake at night. 

Due to nature and nurture we all exhibit three major values. We value how we see ourselves (way of being), how we value our relationships with others, and how we manage our lives (doing). All three of these values are important to understand if we really and truly want to know our self. 

We are going to go through each one of these values, step-by-step, so we can truly understand our self. It is important that we be 100% honest and true to our self while studying these values. We must have the ability to "see" our self the way we actually are, not how we imagine our self to be, what we think we should be or want to be.

In the next post you will be able to figure out what your personal values are and by knowing your values, you will begin to see and understand who you truly are.
