Knowing thyself is how much applied introspection to our personalities has been taken and if we can witness our strengths and weaknesses.
The world is constantly changing around us and in a phrase that can still apply in a completely different world, this is proof that introspection will remain as important now as it was then.
Consider a time when you wanted to do something outside of your limits and were ignorant to learn the methods of whatever it might be.
There is no penalty in doing what you have no experience in. But to give meaning in the effort of doing so is to know thyself well enough to see an advantage in gaining the experience.
Our courage is constantly tested and our motivation ever struggling.
Knowing how we operate and how obstacles pass us by is to know thyself and allow ourselves to grow in areas we cannot and will not immediately succeed.

Socrates once said, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom”. So, how do you know yourself and why is it important? If you do not know who you are, you’ll have no idea where you want to go.

Knowing yourself is like a compass that will direct your path in life. If you do not have a full understanding of who you are then how are others supposed to get to know you. Remember that your happiness starts with you.

In today’s world, people are too caught up evaluating everybody else that they forget to peep into their own selves. We listen to what society wants us to do and forget who we really are.

Let me share this song lyric from Jessie J’s song

Don’t lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It’s okay not to be okay
Sometimes it’s hard, to follow your heart
Tears don’t mean you’re losing, everybody’s bruising,
Just be true to who you are

The message of the song is to always be true to who you are. Believe in yourself and get what you want out of life.
