Knowing yourself is the first step towards enlightenment. It is important. Knowing yourself lets you live as you would love to. You know who you are, what you want, can separate your dreams from those put on you by others. Above all, you would be in tune with yourself and your decisions.

This is not an easy state to achieve. It takes patience and many other things. I will share a few ways you can get on and hopefully stay on the path to knowing yourself. Things like looking at clues from your daily life.

Let's take a look at a few mnemonic tips that would aid you in this journey

  • Values
    The foremost thing to do is to look for the values that define you. Empathy, creativity, etc.To be in tune with yourself, you need to find your basic principles. Those things that make your you. They usually are things you do with ease and have no problem coming to terms with.

  • Interests

  • Temperament
    This, as used here, is to describe where you fall on the social ladder. Are you an introvert? Extrovert? On what basis do you make your decisions? Logic or emotions? Knowing these would help you avoid situations where you would not flourish or would feel uncomfortable.

  • Life mission and meaningful goals
    Another important thing to discover about yourself is related to your goals. Realize what you actually want to become. Life is incomplete without goals and one must discover clues to your hidden identity and to your career. It is, however, important to note that having a goal now will does not mean you can't Chang it. It really is your life. Do not constrict yourself.
