Knowing ourselves is no easy task. We spend an inordinate amount of time distracting ourselves from the reality of our situations. We work hard to suppress facing our true realities so intently that we make it impossible to reflect before we react.
Can we change who we are? Not likely. Who we are has been defined by nature and nurture. That is a lot of inertia to overcome.
The thing we can change is the way that we deal with who we are. Before we can begin to change the way that we deal with who we are, we must first know who we are.
“Know yourself to improve yourself” - Auguste Comte (1798 - 1857)
