Truth mirrors reality and it logically follows that the best way to decipher the truth
about yourself is by personally observing and experiencing the reality of which you
are a part. Language is the means by which the context confronting your awareness
may be rationally, realistically and reverently described. Navigate the parameters of
existence through this article as well as through your personal reflections and come
to terms with the essence of YOU.
Steps
1.
1
Ponder the concept of the Universe. There are some who postulate that the
Universe is as old as time itself. Assuming that this assertion is accurate, this would
suggest that time and space are inextricably linked and it allows for the premise of
somewhat personifying the Universe as "one whole being" which is growing and
changing from one moment to another. It also does not allow for the possibility for
anything which happens to be undone.

Ponder the planet Earth in relation to the Universe.
For example, contemplate that the planet Earth is a spherical and
rotating part of the Universe, which is surrounded by a combination of air and water,
and houses liquefied fire around its core.
The planet Earth rotates once each day (i.e. once every twenty-four
The mobile capabilities of biological entities range from the ability to swim in water, to
moving around on land, and flying in the air. The Sun is a spherical gaseous whole
which emits immense quantities of light, whereas the Moon is a rocky spherical
object, with a reflective surface, which houses and empties itself of the light from the
Sun.
3
Ponder the necessity of the existence of your biological parents to your
personal existence. Life is uniformly characterized by the existence of opposites.
Each person is posterior to the existence of one mature male person and one mature
female person. Also, each person is either of the male sex or of the female sex.
Further, each person has the capacity to grow into a mature person with a partial
ability to produce more people provided that biological defects have not interfered
with such ability.

4
Ponder the requirements for your personal survival and for that of your
species. Each person requires air, water, food, sleep, and physical contact for his or
her personal survival (i.e. to temporarily extend the duration of his or her life).
o
5
Ponder the relationship between your body and mind and the continual
interaction between them. Each person is comprised of his or her body, mind,
will, emotions and conscience.
The body refers to a persons strong physical presence, which is
situated at a location in the universe and the mental presence in the universe is the
brain which is a powerful computing machine capable of precise logic and beautiful
creativity.
o
The brain is the part of the body which coordinates the activities of the
body. A persons awareness occupies the universe and perceptions of the universe
6
Ponder the significance of your natural mental and physical reflexes. Each
person has an innate propensity to move away from any source of an unpleasant
sensation be it mental or physical, and to move closer to any source of a pleasant
sensation be it mental or physical.
o
A person returning some type of harm to another who has caused him
or her to experience some type of harm is an example of a mental self-protecting
reflex, and a persons hand recoiling from a very hot surface is an example of a
physical self-protecting reflex.
7
Ponder your freedom to make personal decisions within the realm of
possibility.
o
beings tend to seek a means to are the will to live, the will to pleasure, the will to
superiority, the will to connection and the will to identity.
Life presents people with problems or difficulties to prevent, solve and
manage and there are some facts of life that each person must simply learn to live
with that come with the territory of the life experience. Challenges can be intimidating
but they afford richer opportunities to develop and showcase strength and knowledge
and to love and be loved and provide a greater appreciation for comfort. Life is the
way it is and it is up to each person to love himself or herself enough to live his or her
best life.
Each person has the capacity to assess what is possible at a given
moment, and to personally decide upon a course of action or inaction from among
his or her options, as well as the capacity to act without such assessment having
taken place.
The ability to autonomously assess ones options allows an individual
to act without reference to the instructions of another person and without reference to
a pattern of behaviour which may have been exhibited by another. Further, as it is
possible for the human will to dominate most innate propensities, this means that it is
possible for a person to opt to rebel against the natural mental signal to exclusively
pursue pleasant sensations, and it is possible for a person to opt to rebel against
nature's urging for him or her to pursue a viable means to survive and flourish as an
individual.

Ponder your astute linguistic abilities as a sentient member of the human
race. Human beings belong to the most advanced category of organisms in terms of
the ability to communicate (i.e. to produce symbols or virtual duplicates of things or
events which may be real or imaginary).

this mirror to remember the past, or to observe the present, or to imagine events
with respect to the past, present or future.

Ponder your innate desire for superiority. Each human being has the natural
capacity and proclivity to evaluate himself or herself and other human beings as
individuals with respect to appearance and performance. Each human being also
has a name as a point of reference for him or her as well as a reputation to uphold.
o
The five standard senses used for such an evaluation of things in the
physical realm are seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting and each is
sensitive to pleasant and unpleasant sensations. The eyes feature the unity of love
and the ears feature the separation of fear. The nose protrudes as a mountain on
display and the mouth is a receptive basin. The skin captures the oneness of
existence. Sights and sounds have a duplicating feature which allows them to be
recorded.
Human beings also have a natural desire to be sophisticated and
impressive mentally and physically and there is also an innate desire to appear and
perform more impressively than others of the same gender. Mental and physical
characteristics are inherited from one's parents. There are some popular theories
which suggest that physical characteristics range from aesthetically unpleasant or
aesthetically challenged at the lower end right the way up to those which are
aesthetically pleasing. Health and fitness are universally regarded as attractive
qualities.
o
Each person has his or her own unique repertoire of gifts, talents,
skills, qualities, abilities and interests on which to build high self-esteem for a higher
potential of success in activities and relationships. Some people experience a high
as thrill seekers and have a sense of adventure.
due to the presence of the more attractive person. People admire each other and a
person may feel uncomfortable or envious if anothers excellence in an area is
making him or her look inadequate in the competition for wealth, respect and love.
The two main manifestations of love are as a hunger for the presence
the security of life, possessions and values and authoritative protection and
regulation are often necessary to facilitate peaceful and constructive interaction.
Traditional ethical principles prescribe that others should not be extended treatment
which one would find it objectionable to be the recipient of and that for a person to
qualify to enjoy a benefit that person should suffer the cost of it.
Each person is naturally directed to pursue life, pleasure, superiority,
connection and self-knowledge and to avoid death, pain, inferiority, isolation and selfignorance along with possessing the freedom to choose his or her words and
actions.

Ponder your natural aversion to ignorance and your natural curiosityabout
reality. Existence is both real and imaginary or tangible and intangible.

between theory and fact. Beliefs and theories are possibly true depending on how
rational they are whereas knowledge and facts are definitely true based on the proof
of observation and experience. Some issues are a matter of opinion, personal
judgement and personal preference but even in these matters sound reasoning can
improve the quality of mental functioning.
Life may be a gift of love from a divine being which is the product of
planning or it may be the unintended product of the natural unfolding of the cosmos,
but either way, life is structured with creativity, rationality and dignity and affords
much of value and utility for which to be thankful.
People are able to investigate what is necessary for things or events to
regard to comparing the vastness of the Universe with the relatively minute size of a
human body, and there is also usually some level of fear with regard to not knowing
for sure what happened in the distant past, what is happening in distant space, and
what may happen in the immediate and extended future.

Tips
Be your own worst critic and your own best friend and truly know who you are
so that the labels of others have less power over you.
Realize that maturity entails knowing who you are, understanding what you
want and having the courage to handle your business.
Ask yourself, what is your presence here the result of, really? Ask yourself,
what will be the result of your presence here, really? Aspire to grow physically and
mentally to at least perhaps impress yourself, even if others decline to acknowledge
your existence, or the virtues in your appearance and performance.
Life is usually detailed with ups and downs but you can breathe steadily and
find your flow of calmness within the greater cosmic flow from which to maintain
stability and upward mobility in your life.
Look at yourself in a mirror every day and do your utmost to ensure that you
earn and maintain the respect of the person whom you see staring back at you.
Fully grasp that life only eventuates one moment at a time and that it is up to
you to cultivate and luxuriate in the richness of each moment.
Use your intellect and intuition to discover who you naturally are and use your
imagination and ingenuity to invent the best possible you.
Appreciate the fact that you will never really feel like doing some things thus
when it counts you would need to have developed the capacity to focus exclusively
on the task at hand, to just do it and promptly begin an activity and to progress one
step at a time to use the habit of tolerating constructive discomfort to build for
yourself a life of which you can be proud.

Warnings
Continually reflect upon the human condition in an honest and objective frame
of mind, but be careful not to allow such reflection to inhibit your ability to fully
experience and appreciate your time to live.
It is wise to have a plan for your life based on realistic possibilities to execute
with precision and focus to guard against your most precious resource of time being
wasted.
Do not allow the burden of your whole life to rest on you all at once but instead
take life one day at a time.
