Topic: Do you know who you are? (Read 327 times)

I will say life is a journey of self discovery because until you are faced with certain situations that cannot be simulated, you will never know or be too sure how you will act. But in this life, you have to know enough about yourself so you can be able to make decisions free from other people's influence. People who have a good detail about themselves are more confident when around people than people who do not know themselves and want to impress everyone with a character of someone that are not sometimes.

It is better to know one's true self before involving in any field of life it is just like having a particular business in mind before starting up most of the mistakes people make today is as a result of wrong planning inability to discover ones area of life and believing in the content you carry is also important as a human for you to make progress I think this question goes to every successful person because you must have to know who you are before taken decision in life

Even if we die like all those men you named?

St. Paul says, "But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that this all-surpassing power is from God, and not from us."

If we don't recognize that it is all from God, then we die in vain.

Every human has an intrinsic longing deep within us to be or become something, theres this inner longing to fill a certain void in our heart and sometimes if that thing isnt achieved no matter the amount of money you may make you wont find that satisfaction hence many commit suicide; herein lies who we truly are figuring that thing out and dedicating our lifes wholly to it will bring lasting satisfaction. we live in a fast world and thus sometimes were too busy to pay attention to our inward yearnings and voices thus a lot of us are missing out of creating lasting impact in our world; a wise man once said that the richest place in the whole world is the grave because buried in there, are potentials that left untapped....
Men like Albert Einstein[relativity], Isaac Newton[gravity], Thomas Edison[bulb], Mohamed Ghandi, Nelson Mandela[freedom] etc were able to identify their purpose. The truth is that any life that is lived for oneself is a worthless life, ive come to see life as a seed that must be sown and the fruits be for the good of humankind in the absence of this there will never be a genuine satisfaction. we must of necessity search within ourselves to find this inward driven purpose.
There are a few things that deprives us from finding ourselves viz;
a. When we compare ourselves with others we miss the mark, as this saps our internal energy.
b. When we begin to place huge importance on materialistic[especially financial] gains.
c. When we begin to make excuses about our background and position thus avoiding to take a leap of faith towards actualizing our goals.
d. When we take a conservative approach to life and not launch out because we are scared instead of being courageous.....
We must understand that in pursuing our purpose is where we get to find our true self.   

I think knowing exactly what you worth is the same thing as knowing who you are.
When you have confidence in your self, you can answer that question of knowing who you are because you know what you can offer and know what you are capable of doing.
Some people don't have confidence in their selves that is why they can't answer the question of knowing themselves because they may not perform to people expectations.

I don't think everyone knows their true identity completely and I think they are fine, at the same time some people complain about their lives without knowing their true identity, so actually they may also be finding out, or even don't want to know about it.

I and many others are children of God. We are brothers and sisters of Jesus, the Messiah. As such, we will die here like everyone, but we will be raised from death by the glory of the Father, just as Jesus was raised.

Get yourself a Bible, and get over to a Bible Christian church. Fill up on the words of the Bible, thereby inviting the Holy Spirit to work faith in Jesus-salvation in your hearts.

If you know who you are you won't have passed through someone else nobody on earth know who he or her is on the Earth what we know is that we are a living soul but we don't know our position on Earth so this question is not really answerable or I have a specific answer that you can say that this is the basic answer all these particular questions

Is some how or should I say very hard to know who you really are, some people don't even know what they can and can't do. Even there current state they do not know and it only takes something like a cancelling if I should say to get one to keep track of him/herself.
I was that kind of person when I was like 6, it affected me till 16+ fighting against that wasn't easy, is like am at a place without knowing what's even happening like am lost or something. Sometimes is as a result of what happens around you, your surroundings even the family too have an impact of not knowing who you really are.

I have similar thoughts. When you don't know yourself, you're already halfway to living an astray life. Not knowing yourself will result in a lack of focus, no goals to strive for, and you may feel as if you are a time traveler in this world, waiting for the clock to stop ticking and come to a halt forever.

A man who knows himself will live a straightforward life, knowing what to do and what not to do at any given time. A sense of direction promotes improved mental wellness and greater commitment to long-term goals. This is to say that without knowing yourself, you can't have a life direction, and without a life direction, there will be no goals to think about, let alone want to achieve the goal.

This question would sound differently to different persons just as our answers would be different, everyone would have his/her understanding to this question,
As for me I will say I know who I am, I know my name, my personality, I know the things I can do and things I can't do,
But I can't reply and see how this your topic is related to poverty though, I think you misunderstood your own question..

Do we know who we are? This is a critical question that need a conservative answer. Maybe op has different opinion to what it means by asking someone who they truly are. If the question is directed to me then I will have to explain myself, what I do and my profession. Some persons may not know who they are which could be the reason why they may be passing through circumstances they don't know how it comes about.

We need to know our real self some we are achieve the best out of live. If we keep scrutinizing and asking question especially from our parents of what we truly are then we can get a prompt answer to this question.

As a human with complete sence know who he really his or her. This question is straight forward, for someone to say he don't knows him/herself is not true statement. There are two types of talking through mouth and  mind.

I want to ask you, how do you know yourself. also, how do you find your true identity. because, this question is complicated for most people to answer. in fact, each answer will be very subjective depending on each individual. This is an abstract, biased question, if we relate it to the poverty factor. Poverty is caused by many factors, depending on how we interpret it.

However, regarding what you ask in this question, I'm pretty sure that most people don't have a definite picture of your question. the problem is, what defines this question. I mean, the essence of your question. because, in essence, this question is concerned with the essence of a person but not with poverty.

I don't need anyone to tell me who i am because I've discovered my potentials, i work on them and build a reputable career for myself, i also set some targets as milestones and got them hitted by my relentless efforts in achieving success in life, when one discovers who he is, then no one can come challenging you about anything concerning yourself because you have already taken full responsibility for yourself right before their coming.

I don't think it's anyone who doesn't know who he is, it's just that many people hide who they are, maybe because they are proud and ashamed to admit they are, sometimes we are ashamed to admit that we are unemployed and want to show ourselves worthy so that many people respect it.

I know perfectly who i am. Among many things i am a father, geek, neurodiverse, crypto enthusiast, ethical sadist, hedonist, feminist, social democrat, pacifist, self defence enthusiast, free thinker, satanist, happy, kind, in love and alive. I have a strong code of ethics and i am what i think and what i do.

Sometimes I feel like I don't really know who I am, and i think is affecting me in one way or the other, one thing a person should know first in life is to discover his or her self, when you can define who you are and what you can do then you can improve in your life, like me sometimes I sit myself down and start asking myself some question, which I have not been able to answer up till this moment, knowing yourself make one to discover his or full potential, I know many people out there are going through the same thing  going through right now, and if there is any Solution please share with me.

This was a really hard one to answer. At some point the way we think we are is so different on others point of view. For me now, I'm not 100% sure that I already know myself, like the things I want in life, how I react on one situation, what I wanna be someday, these are some of lots of question I still don't have answer yet. Maybe finding ourselves is not so easy. For now I'm letting things to happen or simply I can say is I'm just going with the flow. I do believe I still have so many things need to know about myself, day by day I will start learning new things about me. I think its a constant thing in everyone of us. As of this moment while typing this reply I can say I'm in a good condition right now, I'm just embracing all the good things that is happening in me and try removing the negative thoughts in my mind which is not helpful but at some point I know I can learn from it.

I’d like to think I know who I am, but that’s a lot easier than knowing how other people see you. I’m always surprised at the differences in people’s opinions of myself. I hear both that I am a saint and sinner that I am generous and greedy. I guess it’s hard to always be your best self, but you also can’t control other people’s projections of themselves onto their opinions of you.
