determining path to sourced shell script

There is my simple script that I try
#!/bin/bash
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname $0)" && pwd)"
echo $DIR
When I execute it like $ ./my_script.sh, get the path correctly.
But, when I source it like $ source my_script.sh, it gets the path /bin
How can I get the path of script by source it?

The difference between sourcing a a script and "running it" is that when you source it (using source or .), the script is executed in the current shell environment, while if you "run it", a new shell process is started. You want to source scripts that you want would change the current shell environment. A script that is run in a separate shell process can not change the parent shell's environment. By "environment" is meant, for example, values of shell and environment variables, the current working directory etc.
A script is usually written to either be sourced or to be executed in its own shell environment, but very seldom both. A script that is made to be sourced is sometimes called a "dot-script" (since . is the standard command for sourcing such a script; source is a bash "alias" for .).
A dot-script being sourced by a bash shell can find its location by examining the first element of the BASH_SOURCE array:
printf 'My location: %sn' "$( dirname "$BASH_SOURCE[0]" )"
The directory path will be relative to the current working directory at the time of invoking source or . on the script.
