KNOWING YOU.....

Who am I? To answer this, we must first learn to become more aware of ourselves. To be aware, we must STOP and PAY ATTENTION! We need to STOP and objectively watch and experience ourselves in action.Knowing yourself is not so much about introspection and interaction. To know yourself is to realize that you are more than the little self that has been given to you by your history — the pattern that others made — that your true self is, in truth, much larger and includes other people, other cultures, other species even. That life is less about being and more about inter-being. We come to know ourselves, then, through coming to know each other. And the deeper that knowledge, the richer and more creative the world we build togetherWe all live most of our lives by habit. These habits keep us stuck in patterns that limit our experience of life. Once we detect a pattern we were previously unconscious of, we can choose differently, if we want. With awareness comes choice and with choice, we gain freedom. For knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power.We all have to become aware of how your thinking creates your reality. Probe the messages underlying your emotions. Learn to honour your body's wisdom. Awareness reveals to us a whole new fascinating world.Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom and the only journey is the journey within. To be authentic is literally to be your own author...Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives. We are our own raw material. When you know what you consist of and what you want to make of it, then you can invent yourself. Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is Enlightenment.The more you know about yourself and express your authentic self, the more meaning, joy and fulfillment you will have in your life. If you want spiritual and personal growth and change in your outer world - a new or better relationship, a more fulfilling job, more money... Then you need to attend to your inner world of self. Be more of who you are and you will automatically do and have more.Before you look for someone else nothing could be more important than completely knowing yourself. For the world is vast and the world is wide but it pails in comparison to the vastness of your mind. When you learn that giving love without expectation is the purest of all faith, then and only then, will you be on the road to really knowing yourself.~~Take These Thoughts With You On Your Journey To Your Dreams~~Don't ever forget that you are unique. Be your best self and not an imitation of someone else. Find your strength and use them in a positive way. Don't listen to those who ridicule the choices you make. Travel the road that you have chosen and don't look back with regret. You have to take chances to make your dreams happen.Remember that there is plenty of time to travel another road - and still another - in your journey through life. Take the time to find the route that is right for you. You will learn something valuable from every trip you take, so don't be afraid to make mistakes.Tell yourself that you're okay just the way you are. Make friends who respect your true self. Take the time to be alone, too, so you can know just how terrific your own company can be. Remember that being alone doesn't always mean being lonely; it can be a beautiful experience of finding your creativity, your heartfelt feelings, and the calm and quiet peace deep inside you. Don't ever forget that you are special and you have within you the ability to make your dreams come true.Knowing yourself is such a privilege. Some would lead you to believe that it is an easily attainable piece of knowledge, just waiting for you to go out and catch it. But I know different.Truly knowing yourself, is a battle.Growing, learning, feeling, all the wonders of the world at your fingertips.There will come a time when people would put you down. People would judge you. Those who hardly know you. And those whom you thought knew you well. You will look for comfort but you will find none. Never let yourself down. Take heart, for no matter how awful the accusations against you are, you are still a child of God. This is the time when your love for yourself will be tested. Whether you will believe what others say about you, or whether you will stand your ground because you know yourself best. Take comfort knowing that you are never alone. God still believes in you, you know. God loves you and sees in you the person everybody else failed to see. Don’t fail to see that person.~~Never let yourself down~~ALWAYS HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELFIt is not easy to Live life sometimes and face the world with a smile.When you're crying inside, it takes a lot of courageTo reach down inside yourself hold on to that strength that's still there.And know that tomorrow is a bran new beginning and a bran new day - With new possibilities.But if you can just hold on long enough to see this through, you'll come out a new person -StrongerWith more understanding, and with a new pride in yourself from knowing you made it.Love, Peace & LightNAMASTE
