10 Ways To Find Out Who You Truly Are
3 min readFeb 2, 2022
- Look At The Results — At the end of the day, how successful are you? How many meaningful relationships do you have? How many people contact you? How happy are you? The results are the fruit of our actions.
- “Yes or No?” — Ask yourself as many ‘Yes or No’ questions as you can. Answer them without giving an explanation and keep it at that one word answer. You will find out a lot about yourself very quickly, as long as you ask the right questions.
Example: “Are you happy? Yes or No?”, “Are you confident? Yes or No?”…
Getting help with this from someone can help. Ask them to ask you important questions and only allow a Yes or No answer. - Ask Others For Their Opinion — We have a very inflated idea of who we are, mostly to protect ourselves from harm. How we see ourselves is not how others see us. Ask the people around, both friend and stranger, and you will come to a better understanding of who you are; given that you can accept their feedback.
- Create An Alter Image — What would you think of someone that acts the way you act? Given the actions, results, and words they speak, how would you perceive them? If you were to meet a copy of yourself, without knowing it, how would you view them? Really think about this as a different person. A lot of insights can be gained with this method if used right.
