Introduction Self-identity or self-knowledge is the mental ability to recognize self-attributes in life. One can identify self-attributes through introspection and also by use of common senses such as taste, feel, touch, sight and smell in order to come up with the self assessment. Self-knowledge is very necessary as it helps one to identify the strengths and weaknesses that one has in the view of imminent challenges in life. The nature of our minds and bodies has potential to coordinate self-assessment and uniquely identify our selves as different entities from one another thus appreciate variations of our cherished attributes that exist in the society. This (nature of our minds or perspectives), sums up the whole body of self-identity cum self-knowledge. Self-identity Self-identity is a complex process of understanding the one self relative to the environment. The environment is composed of problems, challenges and people to interact with meaningfully. In order to interact with people effectively, self-identity and understanding of their attributes will bring harmonious relationship. According to Coulibaly, ability of self-identity is determined by the innate attributes of an individual, depending on whether one is an introvert or an extrovert. People who have innate introvert characteristics can easily understand themselves as compared to the people with innate extrovert characteristics (Para. 1). This means, self-identity and self-knowledge are linked to innate characteristics and are factors to consider when assessing self-worth in relation to other people Since introverts tend to be lonely and isolated, this gives them an opportunity to think and reflect about themselves making them to easily understand their fears, weaknesses, strengths and abilities in life. On the other hand, extroverts have many friends to talk to and share about their fears, weaknesses, strengths and abilities. Actively sharing gives extroverts opportunity to have meditation just like the introverts (Coulibaly Para. 2-5). The key to self-identity is constant meditation about personal attributes in both extroverts and introverts and transforming the abilities and capacities of one’s self to a different level by optimizing them. Essentials of Self- identity Our minds and body are both essential components of self-identity. Our minds constantly meditate in trying to answer endless questions in life concerning the challenges we face. The challenges in life require solutions, compelling our minds to think continuously otherwise the issues that remain unsolved at the end of the day will depress us. Active minds are actively processing information to come up with possible solutions at the instances when we experience challenges or as prompted by our internal condition. The mind can keep memories as long as one is still living. These memories are very critical in the meditations as all past challenges and experiences have been recorded in the brain hence can only be reflected whenever we think about our selves. The memory can quickly and quite easily bring to our remembrance the challenges and experiences that can be applied our present circumstances. Application of past experiences to present circumstances save the brain from processing raw data in order to come up with new solutions
