Know Thyself I

. .

Ralph Waldo Emerson practically beats readers over the head in his essay "Self-Reliance" with the concept of KNOW THYSELF, every heart beats to that iron string" he says.

Know who you are.

I think that knowing thyself is the first key to living the life of a Jedi. Meditate on these topics and others that you think of that are relevant to understanding YOU.

1. Who are you? Look at your life up until the point where you decided that the Jedi path was the right avenue for you to take.  Study who you have been and who you are.

2. What do you believe in? What are the core truths for you? What are negotiable beliefs? Study what your values are and why you hold them.

3. Who have been your guides? As you have journeyed through life, look back at the people who have influenced you most and think about why they have. Parents, teachers, friends, mentors, employers (heh).

4. How does who you are affect those around you? This is also a part of being empathic and mindful, but it is important to consider how you fit into the big picture. We are not islands after all.

Just some things to think about as you start out on the Jedi path or remind yourself of who you are :-D
