8 questions to know yourself better
Knowing ourselves better… but why?
Imagine you could know yourself better with only answering to a few questions…
How would that make you feel?!
What is the consequence of it?
To feel happier. Happier being who you are! But who are you?
This is what you’re going to learn thank’s to these 8 brilliant questions.
I like comparing it to food: at the restaurant, you are ordering something to eat that you know you will like! So it’s the same with ourselves: if we want to be happy, we need to know who we are and what makes us happy.
Again, I don’t know why we’re not learning all of this at school… It could be very helpful, right?!
Take your time answering these self reflection questions. There’s no need to find answers to all of them today, but start thinking about it is already amazing!

Hi Tamara, these are great questions to ask ourselves. I have difficulty imagining myself at old age and looking at what ‘souvenirs’ I have/want.
Every few years I ‘reinvent’ myself and what I want last year may not be important this year. It does make me wonder what will remain with me throughout the years as I keep changing and becoming a new person. Cheers!
Hi Deny!
Thank you for sharing your point of view!
I 100% agree. I used to write each year, at the end of December, what were my true wishes for the next year. And every December, reading the wishes that I wrote the year before… I agree with what you’re saying! You don’t always wish to live the same things!
Now that I’m thinking about it a bit more, I would more say instead of souvenirs but kind of “moments” that I want to look at. Like moments with my friends and family, moments learning things for myself… If that makes sense 🙂
Let’s be in touch in December or every few years when you “reinvent” yourself 🙂
Thank you for that Deny!
Great questions. I think that number 5 is very pertinent. There are probably many more questions but this is already a good start!
Thank you for this.
Thank you Luke!
