FInd Yourself



"Be yourself.  No one can tell you you're doing it wrong." - Snoopy

Socrates focused on a process of  "know thyself." He  questioned students to lead them to arrive at the truth themselves. He challenged individuals to reconsider their own prejudices and ideas. By urging them to think for themselves, they could evaluate truth from different angles.

His method of conversation and inquiry often irritated his students as it revealed the limitations of their thinking. Yet, the Socratic method never told people their inadequacies; they realized it themselves.

Socrates questioned everything and decided independently what would become worth pursuing. Studying  issues from both perspectives; he did not allow religious, political, or social conventions to affect him. With the forces of conformity in Greek society, this independence of thought and mind became a powerful way of thinking.

How do you find yourself in order to "be yourself?"

What if you combine a Snoopy-Socratic way into self-discovery. 

 Who are you?   

       What talents do you have? 

           What do you like about yourself?  

What irritates you the most about you?  

           What would you change?  

What will you always keep?

Find your true self.
