The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” But how many of us really take the time to reflect on our deepest thoughts, feelings, and experiences to get a good sense of who we are? Nowadays, life moves so fast it sometimes feels like we don’t even have time to breathe, much less taking the time for introspection. But getting to know yourself and learning more about who you are as a person can actually do a lot to make you happier, resolve your inner conflicts, improve your relationships with others, and most of all, improve your relationship with yourself.
