Nosce Te Ipsum – Know Thyself

August 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Personal Development, Updates

Life is interesting sometimes. I came across this article that was very relevant to me a couple of days ago. It was talking about being you. There is only one YOU. Or in this case only one me.

And you’re you. Lots of people have access to these tools. We can all start from somewhere, build into something, make relationships, and express ourselves in a way that suits our interests.

You can read the full article by Chris Borgan Chris Brogan Behind the Scenes.

Then I was checking out some pics on twitpic from Robin Collins (follow her on twitter @RobinCollins ) and came across this image

My new ink on Twitpic

About 30 minutes later I read this article by Randy Gage Your Unique Power to be You! @Randy_Gage on Twitter.

No one person in the world is the same as another. Not even “identical” twins are really identical.

I did a couple of searches in google and found
Wikipedia’s version of Know Thyself

In the true theological sense, “Know Thyself” is a fundamental tenet of the question of life’s meaning. To truly ‘know oneself’ in this sense involves a deeply personal, spiritual transformation whereby a person would seek to orient themselves towards understanding their own phenomenological perceptions of reality, so as to gain earnest insight into aspects of one’s own existence.

and Shakespeare’s version

“And this above all unto thine own self be true and it shall follow as the day the night – thou can’st not then be false to any man.”
- William Shakespeare.

It’s like they were ALL telling me the same message.

Stop

Think

Reflect

And be the best darn YOU that You can!

Are you being the best you that you can be?

Next time you see me ask me if I’m being the best that I can be, and I’ll challenge you to as well.
