Can we agree that our true-self is always our true-self? Therefore, no one can change that, other than our self. We are who we are. If you see others as only the fullness of their giving (giving to one self and others equally and healthy), and that the parts of them that do wrong and that are not good will “eventually” cease to exist, and see that with fact, then you are left with only the giving goodness of that person. That part lives. Why does it live? Because “you” are alive, you are recognizing yourself, with your living being. If you believe you are alive, then you must accept that you have a consciousness. The measure of it is directly proportional to the amount of your giving. Exactly, as if it is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. You get a true reflected image when you see what you truly give freely. Nothing else matters, because it has no true affect on anyone else, even yourself. You only grow through giving. Yet giving for the purpose of self growing can be misrepresented, even to oneself. If you are doing it for yourself alone, then it is not giving and no growth occurs. Giving to yourself is good, but it must be balanced with the giving to others.

Let’s face it. We agree, “You” are be responsible for your own happiness.
“You” is the key word, not “responsible”. Many people miss this basic fact.

If you acknowledge and accept that anything that makes you happy will almost always be a bigger happiness when shared with another person, then “you” must accept the fact that you are responsible for your own happiness and “you” having the greatest happiness depends on being able to share it with others. You need others to realize your greatest happiness. As soon as you put yourself in front of them, being selfish and more important, you basically cut out your own legs right out from under yourself. Because eventually, if your plan is allowed to come to its fruition, you will be alone. You will have taken it all and not left enough for others to be truly whole.

You provide some crucial and truthful information on the importance of self-discovery. It is greatly appreciated.

I would like to comment on these quotes of yours:

“Your true self is how you feel yourself when nobody’s watching.”
This is incorrect. how you feel yourself is just another way of seeing the image of yourself. It is not a describing to a person to themselves in a way without “imaging”.”

“I always get to some next level of self-understanding only to ask the next round of questions.”
That is because your true-self is not content with your own explanation.

“Strangely enough, up until some quite recent point, I honestly believed that your true self is something you’re always aiming for as a person.”
Here you admit a mistake. It is my pleasure to inform you can go forward now, correctly, if you want.

The answer to this question is very simple and must be stated simple! It should be taught in every elementary school.

You are what you give. Nothing more and nothing less. This alone is the embodiment and extents of your consciousness. You ARE what you give.

You are doing really good and if you get that now, the sky’s the limit for you.
Have a Great Life.

The inner voice of which you speak must be your conscience, I think. If you think something is right – do it. If you are doing it to please other people – forget it.

Whatever we do, we will know at some stage if it was the right thing anyway. I don’t think the real you takes us back to the stone age. I think by adulthood we have enough experience to know what is the correct action.

Perhaps the big issue is we don’t spend enough time alone with ourselves. Too many people use loud music and television, for example, so they don’t have to spend time with themselves. Contemplation, if you will, helps you see the real you. Trying something new also helps and there is no failure, just finding a way that does not work. So-called failures are the best education (that makes me VERY educated!).

Yup, that was well worth reading.

That’s the whole beauty of self-discovery and self-improvement – we can only interest or motivate each other to change, but the real changes always have to originate from within.

I think if we take babysteps and go with that natural instinct, you know that natural reaction that you stop yourself from doing; do it. Overtime, noticing our natural instincts and going with them I think (hope) we’ll eventually find our true selves.

Also, to go with our natural instincts we have to let go of what people think of us and how they will react to us. I think if we are at a point in our lives that we are asking these questons, we really need to stop living for them and live for ourselves. When there is a burning desire to know who we are we’ve allowed other peoples perceptions of us go too far. If you truly want answers to “your” life stop letting them live it.

How do u no that you will stick to what your good at~?

I think correctly set positive beliefs will always help to make most interesting findings on our way to self-discovery.

Even in back of the dialogue that goes on inside your mind, there is something still deep within each of us. That deeper something is our inner witness. That part of us which is aware, that part of which is the voyeur of our life experience is beyond personality, beyond emotion. This is our true self. Not to imply that that our true self is something separate from these very tangible aspects of ourselves that we call our personality or our emotions, merely that our true self is something that eclipses these things.

I know what you mean, but suggest just the opposite: focusing on value is about your common sense knowledge of
what others will find useful and valuable. If someone don’t, this isn’t a reason for you to feel bad or think
there’s something wrong with you.

Like I said, some people are harder to impress than others, and trying to impress anyone isn’t helping your
goals and values.

So there is a difference: making a good impression implies gaining a benefit – looking good or looking better than you really are, while
focusing on providing value is about giving without gaining anything in return.
