Who are you?

As the sun sets on today, think about this:
Who are you?

This is perhaps the most important and life changing question you'll ever be asked. It's tough to find an answer. It might take days or even weeks to truly discover who you are. What makes you? And I don't mean go all scientific. I mean, mentally, what makes you? Maybe you think of yourself as the quiet, reserved type. I bet you're wrong.

Seriously ponder this question:
Who are you?

It could be that the answer is not what you wanted to hear. You might find out you're nothing like who you thought you were. But once you know, you'll see everything more clearly. This is just the start. Pretty soon you'll be thinking about everything.

But for now, concentrate on this question:
Who are you?

Go to bed half an hour earlier than normal. Lie there, in darkness and comfort, either in silence or with soft music playing, and just think. Don't force yourself to think about anything, just let the sequence play out naturally. It might start with thinking about what one person said to you that day, or last week. But it's a start.

Pretty soon, you'll be asking yourself:
Who am I?

That's when things get interesting. It's only by truly knowing ourselves that we can know other people. Knowing yourself opens up your brain, it let's you see so much more. Right now your mind is clouded by thoughts about yourself. "Is this the job I want?" "What should I be doing with my life?" "Is he/she the right man/woman for me?" How will you know any of this, if you don't know yourself?
