If you examine your earliest memories, you may begin to see a connection between yourself and the world around you. It likely began with learning to crawl. Suddenly, your whole world opened up—inviting you to explore and discover how you fit into it all.
And if you’re anything like me, perhaps even at the age of almost 65, you're still trying to figure it out.
These past six months have taken me on an intense inner journey, and I’m beginning to see stellar results. Socrates got it right when he said, “Know thyself.” He also reminded us that, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.”
If you're ready to go deeper with Socrates but aren’t sure where to begin, try returning to that crawling stage—at least when it comes to self-exploration. Let go of all the preconceived notions you have about who you think you are. Start fresh. Wipe the slate clean. And just as importantly, release what others may think about who you are. This is your journey, and yours alone.
Move at your own pace. Explore every puzzle piece buried deep in your mind. Be 1% better at knowing yourself today than you were yesterday. And if you’re doing this right, you’ll spend a good amount of time crawling before you even begin to walk.
Take your time.
Keep in mind—every time you turn on the TV or scroll through your phone, you risk becoming numb to your own inner journey. Maybe your brain is trying to protect you from something. But I promise you this: if you stay the course, if you keep showing up for yourself, you will find yourself. And you will come to know yourself.
It’s all about the journey.
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.”
— Proverbs 20:5
