Who knows more about you than you do?

No one.

That’s right. When it comes to you, you’re the expert.

No one will ever experience your life the way you will.

Now there might be people that know you well and can guess, with some degree of accuracy, how you might react or respond to specific situations, but that’s because they’re using pattern recognition based on your previous behavior.

So, what does it mean to be the expert on yourself?

It means that since you know yourself the best, you’re also the best-suited person to help yourself through life.

Before I continue, let me clarify. I’m not suggesting or recommending that you try to solve problems or overcome challenges by yourself. By all means, seek help when you need to and use whatever resources you can find to help you navigate life. But keep in mind that regardless of the solutions you find, only you’ll know what works for you.

Being an expert on yourself doesn’t mean you have all the answers to life – it means through trial and error and self-reflection, you’ll begin to learn what’s best for you. And, like any other expert, you’ll need to adopt the mindset of a researcher, constantly looking for answers to questions and embracing ambiguity as you encounter new circumstances.

So, keep in mind that while the idea of being an expert on yourself can sound like a huge burden to carry, it’s also liberating because, deep down, if you listen closely, you will always know what’s best for you.
