TEMET NOSCE inch Know Thyself inch in LATIN Socrates Wisdom Sign Plaque Wooden Hand-Painted

This CUSTOM hand-painted wood sign reads: "Temet Nosce". Temet Nosce is Latin for "Know Thyself". The key to finding a purpose and fulfillment in life begins with knowing and understanding yourself. We are each born with this knowledge, but finding a purpose and achieving fulfillment requires the sharing of knowledge, wisdom, and support. Each individual contains specific truths that should be shared with those we meet through nothing less than fate. In the movie The Matrix, "Temet Nosce" hangs on the wall in the Oracle's kitchen. It's what Neo has to do save his mentor's life, become the One, and save his own. It's what you need to do to, if you want to live a life of purpose, and if you want to respond to your life, rather than react. Knowing thyself - it's a pickle, but it's possible.
