Do you actually know yourself? Can you ever really know yourself? And if you do how did you get there? And if not how can you get there? [Spirituality & Religion]

Or is it that we can never know ourselves ?
When I say know yourself i mean know yourself completely.

Knowing yourself means understanding your strengths and weaknesses, your passions and fears, your desires and dreams. It means being aware of your eccentricities and idiosyncrasies, your likes and dislikes, and your tolerances and limitations. Knowing yourself means knowing your purpose in life.

Yes. You do that by accepting yourself, learning and growing, not allowing others to define who you are, nor letting them place value on you, and always telling yourself the truth. There are many things people believe, but are they the truth? Someone, for example, may put you down or question you. You never have to believe it. Always tell yourself the truth. You know you are not those things and you are mature enough to make up your [b]own[/b] mind about matters in life. You always come first. Love yourself enough to be true to yourself, then in matters of God....He comes first above all. Put God first, and everything else will fall into the right order in your life, as He is your Creator.

Knowing yourself means knowing your purpose in life? How so?

That is the definition given,but I would assume it is knowing what you’re going to do with your life, as in you have the inspiration and and drive to do something, kind of like you creating your purpose in life not just drifting through it. @TwiddlerofThumbs

I don't see any connection to knowing your purpose in life because you are self aware.
