"Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment."
Lao Tzu
You know, there are a lot of books written about knowing what you want.
But the only person who can know the 'you' inside of you is you. And knowing you is the first step to knowing what we want.
I have many things in my life that I want. But I only know I want these things because I know a little bit about who I am, and who I want to be.
I can't say I have everything figured out, down to the last item, but I'm kind of glad I haven't done that yet. I used to be very much that way, but I've learned that life can change so quickly, that it's best to change with it. Being the same person forever....that's not for me. I want to be a better person than I've been in the past.
And to do that, I have to know what I want, at least in a general sense.
And to do that, I have to know me.
