Life Questions for Self-Awareness and Personal Growth

Life questions. Whether they are about your beliefs, your character, or your history, they prompt you to think and feel deeper to become more self-aware.

Know Thyself

To "know thyself" has been the fundamental aim of all personal growth quests and philosophic inquiry long before that famous phrase was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in Greece thousands of years ago. And pondering the big life questions has been the means of achieving this self-awareness since the dawn of humanity.

Achieving greater self-awareness is of course the key to your growth ... to clearing through the "rust and crust" that builds inside you when you allow life to happen to you versus being aware of and choosing how you will move through life.

Living a life dedicated to inspiring, revealing and transformational experiences (that is, "intense experiences") is how to keep your mind, heart and spirit wide open to this greater self-awareness and self-growth. And pondering life questions like the ones that follow is one of the simplest (in certain senses of the word) but most intense experiences you can have.

With that in mind, delve into these life questions -- on your own, with your significant other, family or friends -- and enjoy "knowing thyself" and becoming more of who you really are. :)
