Why am Iike this?

I think it is important to know ourselves, but I don't evaluate myself as often as I should. My personal reason for doing this is to make sure my life lines up as best as it can be with G♥d's word. I am always amazed how I get out of line so bad when I get distracted by life and I think, what happen? Why did I do that? What was I thinking?

assessing one's self is a good thing, reevaluating the decisions and actions we've made as this would should surely reflect who we are... but on the other hand, it is important to seek opinion from other especially when you are in doubt of your thoughts and ideas and then trying to compare with your own... guidance is probably best obtained from "someone up there" who would never fail to give answers to your problems..god bless..

Maybe its because of what life has made us. The environment around us does make most of what is happening in us and make us what we are now in the process.

Some people said that I am a complicated one, but really I think I am just easy. What I want is for others to be true to what they say and think, than they would know what I am really like. Still, sometimes I also asked myself, "Why do I like this?" Why can't I just like most people who often do not care much of what they do or say or even feel sometimes.

Yes, I have when I was sixteen-twenty years old. When I was still immature and easy go lucky.. Now, I'm not stating that you are immature, it's just me, myself and I way back I still don't have direction in life. Right now, I know who I am now, I've know enough that I don't ask myself why instead I ask myself "WHY I DID THAT!" lol!

Knowing yourself will help put direction in your life. You can start off by listing down your strengths and weaknesses on a piece of paper. In this way you don't miss out anything as much as possible. For the weaknesses part, try to put action plans. Once that is done, think of the things that you would want do in the future.

I'm also trying to figure out about myself. There are occasions when I do something spontaneously and regret it later.

Hi sais: I have made myself this question a lot of time and I think it's very important to know who we are. In fact we will never have the right answer but it's a good guide to ask what are our needs and what we really want to know what to do, specially because we usually live in a society where we have to think about making our financial, professional and economical goals and we don't have to ask to ourselves if what we do is what we really want. I like this question. Thanks for starting this discussion. ALVARO

hello sais06! You are on the right track. To know yourself more and better, it would help you to ask yourself such questions, to assess yourself and evaluate what needs to be done and what needs to be eliminated in your attitude, to avoid future similar situations which you don't really want to happen. It is important to know one's self in order for you to interact appropriately with other people and with certain situations and events. Asking the right questions, and being able to answer it appropriately is indeed a great help towards helping you discover who you truly are, and what you are capable of. You can find and get to know yourself better through asking heavenly guidance from above. Or you can do meditation, to be able to focus on evaluating yourself. It would also help you if you interact with other people and assess your own reaction to their own assessment of your personality. You don't have to believe them, you only have to understand the gist of their evaluation. For example, if many of them evaluated you as someone aloof and distant, then that's a start for you to examine if what they're saying is indeed true or they have just misinterpreted your actions. You cannot know yourself on your own. You have to have interaction with other people, so you will know how will you fare with others and when you're alone. I hope i have been able to share some insightful ideas with you.

It's not unusual to be in this situation. In fact, I find it beneficial. When you know your self, you can't be swayed by the influence of other people. Sadly, some people are swayed by other people to the point that they don't recognize themselves anymore.

hello, Yes, I asked this question to myself? And its really helpful for me to know myself because as what you have said in every actions we made mistakes or actions that sometimes we cant understand it anymore. right? Even now I keep knowing who I am because I want to help myself.

It is absolutely essential to know more about yourself because if you do not understand and know yourself, you will have an even harder time to know or understand other people. That will result in a failure to communicate with other people correctly. Always learn more about yourself, find what makes you 'tick', know all about your interests and ideas. You will be able to build a foundation based on these things and that will make you grow much faster.
