The first step towards attaining self awareness is defining what self is. What are you? Answer that first. If you say you are human then what is a human. If you say you are a man then what is a man. In order to answer this question you need to answer the question; what is my origin story? If you are an evolutionist stop here because your life is a sheer accident the result of a series of undirected accidents that led to you and hence your life has no meaning or purpose assigned outside of you. You can define purpose for yourself and define yourself however you like and your definitions are not binding on anyone else because they are your subjective reality. However if you are not an evolutionist and you believe an intelligent creator built you into the propagative process of life then in order to answer the second question you need get an answer to the third question. Who is the intelligent designer of the universe and why did He create the propagative process that ultimately led to me?

Any attempt to seek self awareness will result in you realizing you lead a meaningless or purposeless life or result in you foraying into the supernatural.

Interesting perspective.

And Richard Cypher struggled to digest the revelation from Zeddicus; he is the seeker, a warrior to spearhead rescue of his oppressed people from the ruthless Darken Rahl. He had hitherto been leading a regular life, staying with his parents in their remote village. This scene from the hit series "Legend of the Seeker" mirrors where many (probably you, too) are now. A life on automatic mode wherein you are feet-deep in family, societal conventions and expectations.

Have you ever earmarked enough time to ask yourself: "Why am I here?" "Could I be more than I've observed and been told?" "What makes my life different from others?" "What's the ultimate use of my education, skill or experience?" "How many years do I have left before death calls?" These are weighty questions. They make your limitations graphic to you, often stirring dread. Calm down. More than the fright, the questions underscore need for you to personalize your life's journey. Corresponding answers provide your life with structure, same way your skeleton within guides formation of your flesh without.

In fact, self-awareness is literally the foundation of your existence. A house built without a foundation can collapse amidst strong winds or cave in with time. The foundation determines whether a house would be a bungalow, one-storey building or skyscraper. How can you proceed to build a four-storey house on an unknown or shallow foundation? Start interrogating yourself now.
