Direction: Get to know more about yourself by answering the following questions
truthfully.
2. What makes you stand out from the rest? What makes yourself special?
Answer: I believe that every person is special because of its uniqueness. Every
person is different. I guess what makes me special is the talent of being just me. I
usually follow and do things that I feel is right for me like taking decisions about
everything regarding me. I personally feel that whatever situation is I know myself
better than others. I know what exact type of person I am, what are my strengths
and weaknesses. I am the person I am meant to be.That masterpiece that God has
designed to be me. I am unique and that matters.
3. What feature of your self do you consider you have to develop? Why?
Answer: Life has stages. Depending on what we experience in life we will never be
the same person we were before our new experiences. Since the only constant thing
in this world is change.
5. How is your self related to your body and connected to other selves?
Answer: No matter how unique we are with each other, we are still related to each
other. Our individual experiences from childhood to adulthood greatly contribute to
how we behave. Including how we relate with others. Whether we want to admit it
or not we need people in our lives, and it doesn’t matter who provides it, although
most will come from our family, they could also come from friends, co-workers,
classmates and even just a concern individual, group or organization. Like the old
popular saying goes, “No man is an island." No one is self-sufficient; everyone relies
on others. We need one another in order to live.
Answer: There’s no fighting it; each of us will die at some point. It is my opinion that
death should remind us that we are not gods. By our definition, a God exists always,
eternally. When we die, all brain activity will cease. We will become unconscious,
and when our brain has decayed, we will cease to exist entirely. Our body and even
bones will decay too. Anyone we left behind will mourn, unless we didn’t give them
reason to do so, but in time we will probably be forgotten or mostly forgotten.
When we die, our spirit and body separate. Even though our body dies, our spirit—
which is the essence of who we are lives on. Our spirit goes to the spirit world. The
spirit world is a waiting period until we receive the gift of resurrection, when our
spirits will reunite with our bodies. It is at the time of resurrection that each of us
will be judged individually by Jesus, our Savior. This final judgment will be based on
our desires, actions, and choices.

Were you able to answer the questions above with easiness? Which questions did
you find cool to answer? Which ones are challenging? Why?
Knowing who we are will always be more important than others knowing who we
are. When we get to know ourselves, we get to know the world. We start to see
other people as our brothers and sisters. We begin to see life in the way that it is,
that we are all truly connected and infinite beings. Knowing ourselves is one of the
greatest weapon that we can have. Let’s just be who we really are. It takes
continuous self-reflection to get to know who we are. Everything that is outside of
our own being are things that we can mold, bend, and adjust accordingly to fit into
our reality.
Focus on who we are, block everything else out, nothing else matters.
