If you think
you know yourself,
you don't know yourself.

The second you say, "I've left the old me. Now I've found my true self" is the second you start believing in a new self-image.
In other words, it's the second you start a new cycle of deceiving yourself.
We go on defining and redefining ourselves our entire life.
putting on mask after mask.
not realizing who/what exactly is trying on all these masks.
not realizing who/what is playing these roles in this play of life.
Think about who you were 10 years ago.
Really think back and picture the person you thought you were back then.
Now think back 5 years ago. When you laughed embarrassingly at the 'you' from 10 years ago. If I had asked you 5 years ago "who are you?" you would've said "I have grown a lot, and now I've found myself".
But look at how much you've changed now from 5 years ago. If I asked you now, you would say the same thing. That you were young and a bit foolish 5 years ago but now you've found yourself and that this is the real you.
The wise realize that self-images change, beliefs change, and personalities change--and so they drop these concepts completely.
If you truly see this, if you know this, you will realize that what you are cannot possibly be defined by a personality.
There is no "real you" that you unlock when you improve yourself to the right degree of confidence, skills and personality traits.
So I'll save you a lifetime of searching for, and trying to become this perfect self.
It doesn't exist.
So then what is the truth of who/what you are?
If not a personality, then what exactly are you?
This becomes obvious as you empty yourself.
Empty of any self-image, empty of beliefs, empty mind in each moment.
Be empty and observe, with this question silently in your heart, as you move thru each moment of life.
If your search is true, you will find true inner peace.
Who are you?
