How Well Do You Think You Know Me?

There's always someone who thinks they know you and most the time it's really quite laughable because they don't even know the first thing about you. Most the time they assume that you are just like they are because they can't grasp the concept that there *is* individuality in the world. Then these kind of people take action or make decisions based on how *they* would react to something. And not knowing the first thing about you, they generally make the wrong assumption and fly off the handle making all kinds of rash decisions. They tell the world about you based on themselves and then when it's shown that you *aren't* at all like that, they get egg on their face. Call it sadistic or whatever you want, but I find this quite amusing.

So here it is, a test to see how well you really know me. It's completely anonymous, so don't worry about the egg on your face...I won't know who you are. ;)

Finished the quiz? How did you do? Think you know me through and through? Here's a more interesting twist:

How well do you know yourself?

Have you done your own soul searching? Have you really found yourself or do you think you already know yourself? Do you pretend to put on a mask and be someone else? Do you tell yourself you are yourself so much that you actually believe what you're telling yourself to be true? Do you even understand a word I'm typing? haha

I urge you all to take some time (not just a few hours) to do some real good soul searching. Spend time alone, no music, no tv, no books. Just go sit outside in nature (providing you're prepared for the elements), clear your mind, and listen. Keep your mind open but don't think. Then ask yourself a few questions - and be honest. Don't be afraid of the answers, for if you are, you will never be able to find yourself. Be creative in your questions, but here are a few to get you started.

Do I *really* like who I am?
Do I *really* like who I have become?
Are my deep dark secrets really that bad?
If you have deep dark secrets - Would it hurt me physically if someone know those secrets?
What things do I not like about me?
What things do I like about me?
What changes can I make so that I do like myself?

Writing in a journal really helps too. You'll be surprised as to how much you learn on your path to self discovery.
