Terms/Keywords
 Self-assessment – an evaluation of one’s own abilities and failings
 Self-reflection – a contemplation of one’s own thoughts and desires and conduct; a penetrating
examination of one’s own beliefs, and motives; a detailed inspection of one’s conscience.
 Self-acceptance – the awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses; the realistic, yet
subjective, appraisal of one’s talents, capabilities, and general worth; feeling of satisfaction with
one’s self despite deficiencies and regardless of past behaviors and choices. This result in an
individual’s feeling about oneself, that they are of “unique worth”.

themselves to another. The information can be descriptive or evaluative, and can include
thoughts, feeling, aspiration, goals, failures, successes, fears, dreams, as well as one’s likes,

Discussion:

Self-assessment is essential to knowing and understanding oneself. “Christ reveals how the
essential dignity of all persons is grounded directly on their origin, meaning and destiny. We believe all
persons are created by God in His image and likeness (Gen. 1:26) through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom everything was made and through whom we live” (1 Cor 8:6).

Self-Knowledge and acceptance is the beginning to self-development. “Christian moral life is

simply the call to become loving persons, in the fullness of life with others in community before God, in
imitation of Jesus Christ” (CFC 682.

The Holy Spirit guides and journeys with us in the full understanding of the self. “The Spirit thus
enables us to love God, and love everybody else through His Spirit. The love of God has been poured
out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (CFC 1311).
