HOW TO KNOW YOURSELF BETTER
1. Have friends. Have lots of friends. It doesn't matter you only know them through the internet, or you only say hi! to them once or twice a day at work.
2. Have closer friends. A bunch of them. These ones say more than hi! of course.
3. Be with these people at times when you feel like it. Share jokes, stories, gossips, advices, reminders. Whatever. It's important to 'see' and 'know' about other people in order to know yourself better.
4. Have a 'closest friend' or two. Talk to these type of friends; let them know the deepest side of you. Your past, your mistakes, your ups and your downs in life, your awfulness but they're okay with it. They don't judge, they don't criticize, they just help you to realize things. They take care of your heart more than they care about the-so-called-reality, but they will help you see that reality.
5. Have time for yourself, when you think you need them. But be okay with it. Don't feel lonely; then it'll be a contradiction. Make sure you are not harmful to yourself when you do this.
6. Always reconnect with your family, your passion, your love, your roots and most of all your spiritual side. It's #1 priority: The One.
6. Try to know what you really want, what you really need, try to know what you like. And try to know why you like/need/want them. Try to relate.
7. Go to places you like and love. Go places you never been to. Go anywhere.
8. Be thankful. You won't know yourself if you are not thankful for what you have. You keep on wanting something else, you'll only get to know that self that you wish you are with the things you wish you have.
9. Make changes, go against the current sometimes, go weird, make a difference. Challenge yourself. Have enemies for reasons you know for sure.
10. If you find yourself in deep shit, and of which makes you think twice about whether you know yourself or not; you just have to think hard, ponder hard, go find answers and see things from different perspectives. So repeat all steps from #1.
You do realize this is crap, right?
