Knowing Yourself Is the Beginning of All Wisdom

"Whenever you think or you believe or you know, you're a lot of other people: but the moment you feel, you're nobody-but-yourself." E.E. Cummings

To become the most complete human being you can be requires taking the time to know yourself.  Spend time alone.  Ask yourself big questions: your hopes, beliefs, dreams and desires.

Do you take the time to know yourself?

I get to know myself through my writing.  I'm naturally curious and always asking questions.

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom." Aristotle

"Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich." Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching)

"Don't exist.

Live.

Get out, explore.

Thrive.

Challenge authority. Challenge yourself.

Evolve.

Change forever.

Become who you say you always will. Keep moving. Don't stop. Start the revolution. Become a freedom fighter. Become a superhero. Just because everyone doesn't know your name doesn't mean you don't matter." 
Brian Krans
