To know Yourself, think for Yourself first.
“How will you define yourself?”
Many a times we have heard this question, we all.
No, don’t tell me what’s your job or what are you studying, Ofcourse, these things tell a lot about you but are you just limited to your studies or jobs only? You are much more than what you think about yourself.
“Only you know what you are"
We generally meet different kind of people with different opinions, different likes or dislikes, different self-esteem and so on. And these people we meet have a lot to say about others and about themselves. What they say about others is a matter of concern that’s I will include in my another blog but here today I am considering what they talk about themselves.
I know a friend, can be seen saying himself devil 😈, the other one will always say that there can be no one like him as he is so good and intelligent. I know some people who always think and talk a lot about themselves whenever asked about their choices, likes, their feelings or emotions, they are so talkative and then there are many who don’t have any idea of what they are, what they like or how they feel.
Everyone knows themselves much better than others knowing them. I want you to write your feelings about yourself, what you think about yourself, what you believe who you are.
You don't need to choose something specific, just write down your journey, your experience, situations you went through and your learning from those.
This is a challenge for you to define yourself without mentioning any external things like your job, study, family or friends. Just concentrate on your feelings and emotions. Write down about your behaviour in different situations. Write down your thoughts on you without being influenced by any book or a person.
Here are some points you can start with
• What do you want for yourself?
• What makes you happy?
• What are your beliefs?
• What makes you feel alive?
• Who are your friends, how they help in your bad?
• What are your true desires?
• How you behave when you’re sad, happy or angry?
• What feelings arise when you see a poor fellow?
• What you think about life, love, people in your life?
Your thinking for self is important as it's all about what you think of yourself, it doesn't care what others think of you, how others see you.
Through Thinking for Yourself, You will Know Your Self
Thinking for your self means forming your own opinions about yourself, it doesn’t have to be borrowed from others and thus helping you in knowing what truly matters to you.
When you think for your self, you become aware of your true feelings and emotions, your desires.
By knowing your thoughts, you become aware your real character, your true nature.
Thinking for self enable you to know your worth, your abilities.
Your thinking for self helps you understanding your goals, strengths and weaknesses.

Do what reflects you?
There are many who will tell you what should and shouldn’t do. Only you know what you want and what is best for you then why to bother about other’s taste. You must need to cultivate your own tastes that will develop a strong sense of self in you and you will be able to enjoy your own preferences.
Do what reflects you, that truly defines you. Do not allow anyone or anything hold you back.
Pay attention to Your Thoughts
Though only you know what you think, feel, desire but still remain unaware of your thoughts. To know yourself you must need to focus on your thoughts.
Observe your thoughts while seating alone, interacting with others or doing something important. Its a very helpful way to know your thoughts, to know yourself, to get an idea of what you think of yourself.

Take a stand for your beliefs
It needs the courage to stand up for what you believe no matter people listen to you or not. Going alone on a road doesn’t mean you are wrong, your beliefs may be different but still can be brilliant, be with it if you feel it right and be quick to change your thinking if find it wrong. That’s what truly defines you.
Make sure you are not under Influence
Your culture, surrounding, friends, family, the book you read last night, the motivational speaker you listened 2 hours before are the major influencer of your thinking. Believe me, most of your decisions, preferences are as they are because of these external factors.
If you take time to analyse the events that you observe first hand rather than what you've been lead to believe, you can arrive at a more reasonable and realistic outcome.
I am sure this will help you to get some deep expertise-the improvement you to see your life journey in a different improves.
