Who knows you best? We are highly complex people. Even our closest friends don’t know everything about us. There is a part of us that is always a mystery to us and to others. There are plenty of “life coaches” who claim they can help with the search for greater self understanding. I believe, however, there comes a point when one accepts the mystery of his/her being and is comfortable living with the mystery knowing he/she will never be fully known or understood by others or one’s self.
