FYI
It’s really good to have successful people as a reminder. Read books, have a friendship, and even follow them on social media. This way, you will be able to maintain being positive and work on self-discovery. Even there might be new things to look at that you will know from them.

The types of things to discover about yourself
- Ways how you deal with emotions
- Things when going out with friends
- Interactions with family, strangers, friends
- What do you do when going through a variety of situations
- How well do you take failure and success
- Being married or in a relationship or being a parent
There are many things a person can and should focus on. But it depends on what is most important to you. However, it’s good to know yourself better and conduct self-discovery in many things in life. So, always ask yourself and highlight spots and areas in your life that need light.
Q: What other way to learn about ourselves?
A: You can either ask yourself and learn about yourself. And that is not the only thing in the self discovery journey. Another good way is by trying new things. Experiences and talking to new people. These can be a good way to develop knowledge about yourself. Find what you are good at and what you are not good at.
