Of this, I'm somewhat of an expert. But its a long MSG and I'm gonna keep it short. Everybody gather around.
There are 3 main types of people you could be, Image focused, Power focused, Acquisition focused. There is a 4th type, but hardly anyone falls into the Survival/adrenaline focused group.
You find out what group you fall into by doing a Needs/wants/desire survey.. Everything in life fits in there somewhere. Thats the Positive motivators in your life. There is also the negitive motivators side to your life Hate/Anger/Guilt
What you do is make all these lists and over a course of weeks, you watch how things move around on your lists as your life changes. Somewhere, after enough time to see paterns in your life appear, you will come to find yourself.
Of course, I've over simplified, but that's the nut & bolts of it.
One last thing, The difference between your personality and character. Personality is developed by the problems you overcome, Character is developed by how you overcome those problems. The first happens because you move forward in life and learn lessons from it. The later happens because you make choices based on which lessons to use to solve your problems.
There's a bunch more than that, but I'm trying to be brief. Thru the course of a month or so, you start learning about both personality and your character and what motivates you, what hinders you. That, and with the honor system you build around yourself, you find yourself.
Tada ...

I THINK KNOWING WHO YOU ARE HAS A LOT TO DO WITH YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR ATTITUDE. THE ONLY WAY TO COME TO KNOW YOURSELF IS BY LIVING AND EXPERIENCING LIFE AND GROWING FROM THE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO YOU.

Knowing yourself is basically knowing what you like and don't like. Your character and personality also counts. So what is bothering you honey?

Find out what your:
1. values
2. beliefs
3. principals are
= you know yourself and that's when you find yourself
e.g. like what you hold dear and what you strongly believe in

to know who your - to know your limits ... and not too dumb to cross it in public ... (this is humiliation)
