Who Are You? - 37 Questions To Raise Your Self Awareness

Knowing others is intelligence, knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. --Lao Tzu

How well do you know yourself? What abilities do you possess and who do you think you really are?

Self-awareness is the ability to recognize oneself as an individual separate from the environment and other individuals. It is how we consciously know and understand our own character, feelings, motives, and desires.

Why you should know yourself above all else is perfectly summed up in this two quotes:

As my awareness increases, my control over my own being increases. -- William Schultz
