How do you understand yourself?

[Itizn]

Deep title and question I know.

Recently I've been thinking a lot about how so many successful people got to the top because they knew who they were, deep at their core, and used that to their advantage. Doing this by focusing and developing their competencies while delegating and isolating their deficiencies.

Sun Tzu has that quote " know yourself and you win all battles"

But what does it mean to know yourself in this context? I know my actions, I know my interests (generally speaking), I know my desires (also generally speaking). Yet I don't believe all those are who I am, just what I chose to puruse.

Similarly, one of my goals is to be able to train my mind to be able to see how others see me. That also seems extremely valuable. But how exactly to do that is beyond me.

If any of this resonates with anyone or you have some tactics you've used to start to know yourself better, then it would be great to share what you can. Maybe others have thought about this lately also.
