Here's the thing: after all this visionquesting and self-examination you are going to be so self-aware.

With any luck you'll be happy, too.

What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?

    What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?

1. Why do I believe what I believe (about myself and just about everything else)?

2. Do I believe it only as much as this belief can be supported by evidence?

3. Are there examples of the evidence from several sources?

4. Is the evidence really evidence or just someone's stupid opinion?

5. What is evidence anyway?

That wasn't helpful. Let me try again.

    What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?

I imagine self-awareness is so subjective that any confidence we have about our answers is equally subjective.

Here's what I ask myself:

Am I bringing goodness into the world?

I imagine Donald Trump asks himself that as well.

    What kind of questions can a self-aware person answer about themselves with confidence?

Maybe the only kinds of questions one can answer with confidence are about being in the moment:

What are my perceptions right now? Can I hear my being dance from ear to ear?
