"Gosh Kimberly! I am so thankful that I keep learning. How do I know? Of all the friends I've had since childhood, there has been a few that didn't every grow up. They seemed to stay and behave socially like they did when they were 10 years old.
Although I seem to learn a little every day, every 3 or 4 years I have, what I call, "epiphanies." It's kinda like waking up one day and discovering hundreds of things that i'm now aware of I didn't understand before. I am well into middle age and the epiphanies keep coming. I am so glad that they do that I have a little fear that they may stop and leave me in a place I might regret. Some of my older friends tell me they never stop coming no matter of age. It makes me want to live for a long time just to keep learning.
I believe that I'm most amazed by the fact that the more I learn, the more I diminish in importance and everyone else matters more. I sincerely feel more transparent to my relatives, friends and acquaintances each day as my ego shrinks. I know myself pretty well and I like who I see. I hope you do."

I sure am... I find out new things about myself constantly, I do things each day which I would never have thought i'd do before. Things have happened which I never thought would... i'm only 17, so really I'm learning more about myself each day.
I just hope that the more I get to know myself the more I like myself rather than the other possibility, lol.
I spend everyday trying to improve myself however I can and getting to know myself more each day helps me find ways to improve.

Yes. In November I'll be 66 years old and I learn new things about myself all the time. It's great fun and keeps life exciting.

I think I pretty much already know who I am. You do learn knew things about yourself from time to time, but my core values have almost always been the same.

I think this is one of the most important things in life...to know ones self is to know others and even God or gods or what ever you choose. Like Kinky Freeman says "May the God or Gods of your choice bless you"

Yes I recently realised something shocking about myself.
You grow and change all your life as you learn things and gain experience - there's always something new to get to know about yourself.

Everyone is still getting to know themselves. You say you know yourself well but then discover new things you didn't know before.
