    To truly know oneself requires lifelong reflection and analysis as humans are complex beings. It involves understanding one's personality, values, physical attributes, dreams, likes and dislikes, past experiences, and perceptions of oneself as well as how others perceive you. Personality consists of physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspects that determine traits and characteristics, though personality may change over time due to various factors. Values guide one's conduct and decisions. Dreams and aspirations serve as goals to work towards. Likes and dislikes define satisfaction and one's past provides lessons. Self-perception combines internal and external views of oneself.

    TOPIC:

    “KNOWING ONESELF”
    Adolescence is considered a challenging
    phase in one’s life as it bridges childhood
    and adulthood.
    Knowing oneself takes a lifetime of
    reflection and analysis. The human
    person is such an intricate, complex, and
    dynamic being that needs better
    understanding.
    What other people see may not be a
    true reflection of what is inside the
    person. To judge a person based on a
    single pattern or behavior is like
    deciding without analyzing the pros
    and cons of the situation.
    What does it really take
    to know and understand
    people? What does it
    take to know oneself
    better?
     1. Understanding personality
     The first key to knowing oneself is having a clear grasp of
    what personality is.
     An individual’s personality consists of the physical,
    mental, emotional, social, and spiritual make up.
     Consistency in one’s pattern of thoughts, feelings and
    behavior determines the personality to a certain extent. It
    is important to look into habits that make one distinct
    from other persons. Traits and characteristics also
    distinguish a person from other individuals.
    How other people collectively regard an
    individual is another aspect. This
    complements one’s perception of the self.
    Throughout one’s lifetime, however,
    personality may change. The change may be
    a result of one’s personal conviction,
    circumstances and environment, influence of
    other people, and many other factors.
     2. Appreciating values
     Values pertain to the moral codes, norms of conduct,
    and ethical principles a person adheres to. These
    values guides the day-to-day life, empowering the
    individual not to compromise the things that are not
    important. Example to these values are integrity,
    honesty, loyalty, industry, excellence and
    professionalism.
    Whatever one believes in prompts a
    person to act in a way that is consistent to
    one’s values and beliefs. Decisions are
    certainly affected by a persons frame of
    thought, perception of things in the
    environment, and the set of priorities in
    life. Ex. Choice of career, choice of
    friends, etc.
    3. Knowing the body and physical
    attributes
    The physical body is a tangible proof of a
    person’s existence.
    On the aspects of physical attributes,
    differences may due to genetics, age,
    lifestyle, ailments, or personal
    enhancements.
     4. Recognizing dreams and aspirations
     Dreams and aspirations serve as a roadmap to the
    future. They pave the way for a life worth living.
     Dreams and aspirations constitute a person’s goals
    and ambition in life. They mirror a part of that
    person and the type of individual he/she desires to
    become someday. These goals should be worked
    daily. A person should explore opportunities and
    paths that could lead to these goals.
    5.Identifying likes and dislikes
    These define what bring satisfaction and
    dissatisfaction to a person. One is most likely
    to pursue what is desired and avoid what is
    undesired. Doing things that are disliked may
    only bring frustration. On the contrary, doing
    things that are liked may bring gratification.
     6. Embracing the past
     A big part of the knowledge about oneself
    constitutes the past. This is also instrumental in the
    formation of self-concept.
     The experience one encounters teach lessons in
    life. Whether or not these experiences are worth
    reminiscing, the important thing is how a person
    sees the past and draws inspiration from it to
    continue on with his/her life.
    7. Understanding self-perception and
    others’ perceptions
    Knowledge of the self is a product of
    one’s own perception, view of oneself in
    relation to other people, others’
    perceptions, and how a person truly is
    based on objective reality.
