Knowing yourself is vital if you're to be true to yourself. Living in the now is a great place to start with those daily steps; if you know yourself and discovered you only had a short time left to live, you wouldn't fill it with feelings like "I'm being taken advantage of" or rush to do so many things that you botched them all. You'd fill it with love and the people and beliefs you value and you'd savour the moments. We can start living like that right now. If we know ourselves, we can discover 'right livelihood' - a way of earning a living that makes us happy and fulfilled and lets us use the gifts we were born with.
