How to know yourself better ?

Speaking of knowing ourselves better brings so much to question. So where shall we start from. I must say, for me, this is the journey, among thousands, I love. Digging into ourselves is like diving into a world which is at the same time known and mysterious. I can't even remember when I started my own journey ; it seems to me it was ages ago.

I believe we are all marching the path without really knowing it, and, each steps bring us forward. We are growing up and discovering we are able to paint, dance, play music, study, work, analyse thanks to our own experiences. According to me, wanting to reach and developping our highest potential is the key that unlocks the doors to knowledge.

Apparently humanbeings always look for best results, best this or best that, and most of the time, they look at empty spaces instead of considering what is here and now. The external world offers just a reflection. What we do with this vision only belongs to us. Sometimes it can reveal parts of us we know well, or, parts which were kept hidden from us.

I believe we are always searching, trying to be perfect, and believing we can fit the others outcome. Yet, what do we do with our own motivation, own wish, hopes? What do we do with our own goals? Knowing ourselves requires sincerity, honesty, courage and patience. It is not a question of time, it deals with an intimate relationship we build with ourselves throughout the years, whether we are aware of it or not. With each step we take, we move closer to ourselves.

I trust that when we start, we have no idea about what we are going to discover. It is as if we were diving into the unknown. I know what you can reply to me. The unknown, how is it possible ? Well I think we know not much about ourselves. That leads to question what we really know ? Is is about our favorite colour, how favorite holiday, our favorite pet, job, our believes concerning money, success, family life ?

Of course, answering these question speak about ourselves, but there are other ways to discover who we are. Trust me, knowing yourself better is the best journey you are going to make and it promises greats surprises as well. How fantastic is it going to be ? But how can we start this journey ?

Actually, may be, we can use a map ! Let's decide on the destination first. The destination is I , the amazing island you are going to investigate. So to begin with, please take a piece of paper and from now on, write down your answers for every question.
