This is such a simple yet profound quote. Moreover, it is amazing the number of people who are walking around who are not as self-aware as one might hope or expect.  

One of the biggest challenges we have to overcome when embarking on the journey of self-knowledge is accepting who we truly are, and not who we think we are. In our mind’s eye, we may perceive ourselves one way, which may be what we want to project to others. But when all is said and done, we actually think and respond to situations in ways we would not have expected.

It is in this process that self-love and self-acceptance become crucial. It is easy to dismiss or overlook what our actual truth is, but it also means that we are not prepared to get to know ourselves.

Further, it is also important to highlight that self-knowledge is a never-ending journey. Over time, we change and evolve, and so do our thoughts and beliefs. So the odds are we will never get to the point where we know ourselves through and through, as there is always something new to learn.

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
