Who are you — really?
Discovering You Chapter 2 Filthy Beauty
Finding commonality forms our goal achieved through self-awareness. People often mutter the common wisdom, “Be yourself.” Great advice if you know who the hell you are! Awareness is not just about understanding your strengths and weaknesses but also acknowledging what you truly believe and desire. Knowing thyself moves from the mundane expression to the knowledge needed for satisfaction in relationships, but as you inward mine for truth, the complexity of desire reveals the urgency for knowing ourselves in all things.
People are born, live, and die without knowing who they are, much less the person sleeping beside them. Life passes smoother in the narratives we create about ourselves than in exploring and committing ourselves to our true beliefs and actions. A lack of self-awareness makes us prone to appearing dishonest or hypocritical.
