Pirkei Avos – Torah.org: “Only we can fulfill that most basic and fundamental commandment of all: Know thyself. ”

And that is the real challenge that we face through life, trying to understand who we are and what we stand for. This is something that evolves through time as we grow and evolve. At least you hope that you do not stagnate and that you do continue to grow.
