Do you know who you are?

Sorry to say most of us are struggling to answer this question when someone approaches asking if we know who we truly are or who you really are. I believe the lack of knowing yourself is one of the major problems ⚠️
It is a responsibility of a person to know how to live. Without knowing the true identity will lead man astray heading toward Poverty and the most important in the life of man.

You can understand the needs that prompt a person to ask such existential questions, but how do you expect him to identify himself, according to you. To know who you are means to study who you are, and this, in my opinion, is not easy for ordinary people and small-minded people.

This question is existential and has been asked by mankind since the beginnings of history, and philosophy has tried to provide approaches to thinking about the subject, but it has never succeeded in providing complete answers about who we really are and what is the purpose of our existence.

How will one know who he is when he has not identified his value at first, how will such an individual know his right and be able to fight for it, everything begins with learning, have you been given to learning new things, have you ever make moves to change your situations and location you've been used to over years know that change is a constant thing in life, if you want to know who you are then work on yourself and create value, some things speaks about you without anyone asking for them first.

Knowing who you really are and knowing your limits is really a good thing to further improve yourself and to put yourself in a place where you can really work effectively. If a person knows and acknowledges his weakness he will gonna try to avoid those things and focus to do the things he likes the most and that will be one of the reasons the person lives longer because if you're doing what you really want, you are actually chasing your happiness and you are drifting away from your sadness and all of these requires knowledge so that you won't be falling into something that will gonna stress you so much without even knowing it.

If some one walks up to me and asked who are you: I won't just tell the person my details. The world is full of evil and secondly if you walk to a person you have to introduce yourself. "Who are you" can also be a philosophical question that can come with different answers. Religiously, I don't know who I am because it's God that determines everybody's life. But if your knowing who you is associated to acquiring wealth because you know your worth, I am not part of it. I hear some religious preachers preach that everyone is created to be rich, and no one is destined to be poor. I believe not everybody is destined to be rich but everyone should live a comfortable life. Let everyone have their basic needs at least.

When someone gone through a lot, that's when he'll be able to know himself better. I know myself better and I know what I can do, not just for myself but also for other good people and I'm talking about good things to the point that even myself can be given to them if I want to.

I believe not everybody is destined to be rich but everyone should live a comfortable life. Let everyone have their basic needs at least.

There's balance in this world but that balance makes a lot of people suffer and it's just hard to break the equilibrium but I do agree, that everyone should have their basic needs.

But there's the sad truth behind it that many still can't.

You will never really even begin to know yourself until you realize that you are a child made by God... made in His image.

This life on earth is simply one of many. Look at the movies that talk about giving people robot-like bodies, yet keeping their brains so that they are not complete robots. Even though our life penetrates out bodies way more than can be built into robots, still we can be changed.

And change is what our Father in Heaven is doing for us when we die. Through the salvation wrought by God's Son Jesus, we will be saved for a new life in Heaven. The only requirement is that we believe this... and express our faith by how we live.

That's the point when we really start to know who we are.

Knowing who you truly are starts with self discovery.
Self discovery in the sense that you come to understand your true self by finding out your main purpose,
And giving proper attention to what you really desire in life.It gives you the opportunity to take a honest look at areas
Of your life that need improvement.In the process of self discovery,we often find out that we have not been living our lives
In a way that's not genuine to ourselves.
Finding out who you are is a good thing and its your responsibility to embark on that journey to finding your true self.

[Raceonsucced]

there is a term "don't know then don't love" that word conveys the meaning that we have to know and love ourselves better. if we do not know ourselves, how will we live? how will we know what is going on within us? it is important to know who we really are, so that in the future we will know our weaknesses and strengths. so as not to torture yourself.

Understanding oneself is a powerful tool for personal freedom.

A vast majority of individuals, estimated at 99%, lack self-awareness, which leaves them vulnerable to exploitation by the 1% who possess this skill. Each person is created as a unique being with a particular purpose to fulfill, but many get caught up in serving those who have already discovered their life's calling
 To achieve a life of purpose and make a significant impact on the world, individuals must be willing to abandon all distractions and make necessary sacrifices to uncover their true calling

[Stepstowealth]

It is still a journey to knowing myself completely, life is a journey of self-discovery, but I am happy that I already know much about myself. Many people do not know much about themselves yet, that is one reason why they can always and easily be influenced by other people's decisions and opinions. If you know yourself well, your decisions will be made based on your choices and not from the influence of another person.

[BADecker]

Many people get mixed up when trying to find out who they are. They mix who they are with what they are, and they keep getting wrong answers that way.

Yea, they keep getting wrong answers and unfortunately they will not know that their answers are wrong and they will base who they are on a very wrong premise. The phrase "Man know thyself " has thrown people into confusion.
I don't think I am anything except if I define some principles into myself. That is my perception of knowing myself.
For instance. Assuming if I drink bear, I'll have health issues and go to hospital and spend huge amount of money and then all my friends love partying and drinking. Knowing myself is to subtract myself from such friends in order to save myself. There's no mystery about knowing oneself.

[Ndabagi01]

The question appears rhetorical, but it isn't if you think about it carefully. Knowing oneself is critical because it provides proper direction and focus in life as one travels through the life journey. Many people have failed to understand their life's purpose, leading a haphazard existence without direction because they do not understand what they want, what they need to know, or the best path to take in life.

Throwing this question back to myself as the OP in the title, my response will be; I've known myself to some extent, and I can be proud that I know where I'm leading my life. I've faced many challenges, but they haven't stopped me from moving forward and focusing on what I want. I simply believe that if there is still life in me, I will definitely obtain and achieve my life's goal. I would say that I know who I am and what I want in order to live a prosperous life.

[DeathAngel]

I think I know who I am & what little old me offers the world. I am not a rich man but I am a loving man & I work hard to provide & care for my family. I think in life you need to learn to love yourself before you can be happy & be the best version of yourself possible. I think being happy with yourself & your situation in life is important, I guess that is a big part of knowing who you are & what your role is.

[OgNasty]

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.

[CODE200]

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.

Knowing who you really are and knowing your limits is really a good thing to further improve yourself and to put yourself in a place where you can really work effectively. If a person knows and acknowledges his weakness he will gonna try to avoid those things and focus to do the things he likes the most and that will be one of the reasons the person lives longer because if you're doing what you really want, you are actually chasing your happiness and you are drifting away from your sadness and all of these requires knowledge so that you won't be falling into something that will gonna stress you so much without even knowing it.

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.
