I think the toughest task for a person in this life is to find out and to know WHO he/she is. Most people think they know who they are, but sooner or later they have to find out that they were at least partially wrong about themselves.
Your personality is determined by Genes, by Environment you were born into and grew up in and by your Experiences throughout the life.
GENES: It is helpful to know more about your relatives and ancestors, about the paths they chose in their life and how it turned out, about their strengths and weaknesses. Lots of family traits you might now see now might be showing up later on, family traits might cross over 1 or 2 generations to get to you. My brother got a lot of traits from my Great-Great-Grandpa and not much from my parents, while I see a lot of my Dad and Mom in me.
ENVIRONMENT: this is where I count astrological constellations into (Horoscope signs: Zodiac, Chinese, Druiden etc.) as well as Family Unit (including rules, traditions and rituals within the family, way of raising children, parent's personalities, other closer relatives etc.) and finally other Social Units that have effect on who we become (school, other organizations, friends and their homes etc.).
EXPERIENCES: we live and we learn. Everything what emotionally touches us in a good or a bad way automatically (and for us unwillingly) teaches us something. In Scientology it is rightfully called "Reactive Mind" (and I am NOT a Scientologist), because our mind reacts to the outside world in a way that we begin to change and to adopt in one way or another.
More in a later post....
