What does it mean to "survive oneself?"

I just can't realize what it means to "survive oneself?"

Please help.

Solution 1:

An educated guess would be surviving those moments where you might be your own worst enemy, where your thoughts are putting you down and you getting past them. So surviving oneself might mean that surviving the negative thoughts that arise by your own doing and are not directly related to some external event.

I am linking below some articles I found online that support this guess.
