In dit artikel deel ik 20 inspirerende quotes over zelfkennis en zelfinzicht. Zelfkennis is bewuste kennis van je eigen karakter, gevoelens, motieven en verlangens en de aanwezigheid ervan is essentieel om lief te hebben wie je bent als persoon. Zelfinzicht is inzicht in je eigen identiteit, je overtuigingen, je eigen normen en waarden, je eigen gedrag, je sterke en zwakke punten en je eigen interesses.
“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
– Lao Tzu – Tao Te Ching
Hoe zit het met jouw zelfkennis en zelfinzicht? Hoe goed ken jij jezelf?
Wat is belangrijk voor jou? Waar krijg je energie van? Wanneer vliegt de tijd voorbij? Wat zijn je belangrijkste doelen voor de komende 12 maanden, 3 jaar, of nog verder in de toekomst. Wat is je grootste droom en wat is belangrijk voor jou in het leven?
Zelfkennis laat je zien wie jij bent en wat jij wilt. Waar je goed in bent, wat je zou willen leren, of wat je nodig hebt.
Door dit van jezelf te weten krijg je steeds meer inzicht in wie jij bent en leer je jezelf steeds beter kennen.
Doordat je jezelf beter leert kennen, weet je ook steeds beter wat je nodig hebt om te groeien. Maar ook vooral waarom dit voor jou persoonlijk belangrijk is.
