Getting to know yourself better

Getting to Know Yourself Better

We often need to stop and examine our goals and motives in life. Additionally, we need to take time to explore ourselves. We are like open books, being easily read by all of those around you. However, have you ever taken time to read your own story? We find it easy in this life to find an identity in others, but seldom do we take a look at our own state of being. We are more than flesh, we have a mind and heart that feels and bleeds for the world to see. Will we fail to see who we truly are on the inside?


We need to take special care to examine all of who we are. Write in journals, monitor our feelings, and find out our interests and develop them. We need to also build upon the foundation that is our morals. Morals are everything. We need to find solid ground and treat others and ourselves with moral integrity. The way we treat others is a reflection of our soul (’soul’ the immortal essence of our being.) We should not engage in behaviors that are not a part of us, and I believe everyone has the want and need to be loved. The only way to gain someone’s love is by treating them with love, respect, and kindness. Karma is everywhere. We are liberated by good karma, and enslaved by bad karma. The threefold law applies to everyone. We need to find our goals, hopes, and dreams, as they are a great part of us. In order to fully explore ourselves, we must be in touch with our desires if we are to live in touch with our dreams.

It’s not to say we only care about our own personal desires. Many people tend to other's desires, and that can cause them a path of pain and suffering. Our obligations, though, should be to others. We only can find ourselves in other people's eyes. We are not creatures of pride and boastfulness, as that in itself is another pathway to pain. Only when we can grasp the concepts of servitude and love, will we ever truly be happy. Sure, you could have all the fortunes of the world, but we'd still be all alone.

What should we do to fill the void that comes from our suffering? We must explore our inner regions of our mind and heart. Until we are in touch with eliminating our own wants and desires, will we ever know enlightenment of the mind. Our mind is where wars start with our heart, and we must know ourselves to ever eliminate the confusion that comes from this world. Take time to meditate, exercise, and study. Self exploratory requires enrichment of your mind. Never stop learning, and learn about yourself. Our emotions will become intense unless yoy can express them in some way. We live in a world where karma exists all over: one who does not know themselves will become victims of bad karma.

Today we should move forward. Do not believe that anyone knows yourself more than you. We are the writers of our own story, and the artist of our lives. Paint in a picture of your soul, and let the colors flow on the paper of your own mind. Explore that picture, view it all the time, and make your own discoveries, as they are the observations of your heart. Your heart is the author of your life. Be obidient to its will, and fulfill all the wishes it creates.
