Quote of the day: &quot;Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.&quot;

Really it s a great quote...I think it's about lettings go of who we thought we are, and letting go of the fixed attitudes that keep us in the same psychological place, which will inevitably leave us in a place of not knowing who we really are, which would feel like being lost. There has to be a relatively neutral space into which real understanding can enter.

You never know how strong you are until have experienced failure,dissappointments,loss and all the myriad of things that can take a person to the lowliest of lows. It is in this situations we learn more about ourselves.It is the lessons we gain from them that makes us wiser and allows us to gain deeper knowledge of ourselves and our capabilities.

Great post.Loved the amazing quotation.We have a feeling. Deep down, and it’s always been there. The problem is that it’s scary. Or we don’t know how to make it happen. Or it seems so impossible. Or we have no clue how to make money at it.That true we should have aim in our life to .So we instead of really dealing with those feelings, we become “confused” and we feel “lost.Thanks for sharing it with us.@czechglobalhosts

That is true in a certain manner.
In this world we are able to keep things in perspective................not exactly, it is more like that we keep ourselves oriented by the help of the things we know around us. Once that is lost we loose our balance and we have to dig deeper to be able find a semblance of orientation. This struggle can bring out qualities in us that we didn't know existed before.

"Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves."

This quote defines a lot of things.

I suppose it can be about lettings go of who we thought were, and letting go of the fixed attitudes that preserve us within the equal psychological place, that will inevitably go away us in a place of no longer figuring out who we rather are, which might suppose like being misplaced. There has to be a relatively neutral area into which real working out can enter.
It is about when the rubber meets the street; not unless we're in predicament will we see what we're rather manufactured from, scan our mettle; it can be a quote that wholly is familiar with the human mind's penchant for self-deception, denial if you're going to; all of us are inclined to consider we all know what we'd do in a situation however unless we stand on our possess in the course of the unknown can we even start to peer our authentic self in action, now not just phrases.

A man could have hundreds of interpretations, well these are mine.
