1. Self Knowledge

2. Self Knowledge: Do You Have It? SELF KNOWLEDGE – The most crucial yet untouched knowledge. Let’s begin by asking ourselves what is self knowledge? Self-knowledge in simple terms is self-awareness. It is the knowledge of ourselves, knowing our limitations, strengths and weaknesses, our goals and aim in life as well as the code of conduct with which we would like to lead our lives. In other words it is understanding ourselves. However, do we really know ourselves? Many might answer in the affirmative.

4. Self-knowledge is considered the most elusive knowledge as we rarely know the real ‘us’. It is one knowledge which we cannot receive even if we read a thousand books on ‘discovering ourselves’, it cannot be acquired within a day, month or even a year.

6. We are very rarely left alone and thus the little that we do get to know about ourselves is only through our interactions with others. We get to know the type of person we are only through what is told to us and more often than not we try and mould our personalities according to the opinions of our friends and family.

8. At a certain point in life, when we do feel that we are not leading our life the way we wanted to, we start getting depressed.

9. We may end up visiting psychologists or counselors not realizing that what we need is not a counseling session but self-introspection.

10. To be happy and successful in life we need to know ourselves and there is no second or third person who can know us better than ourselves. No one else can tell us what we really want in life.

12. Only in solitude do we get to know our innermost desires. Only when we are alone do we understand our emotions and can ask ourself if we are happy and satisfied with what we are doing and if not then what is it that will really make us happy.
