Connecting to ourselves is crucial in connecting with others. If we don't know who we are, we don't know what we want. This leads to a whole bunch of confusion and feelings of dissatisfaction - you know that feeling of, " there's got to be more than this..."?

If you've ever experienced that, your next move was probably something along the lines of, a quest to know thyself. Naturally, that ends up looking like changing our situation, our career, our relationship, our city, getting a new hobby or hairstyle, maybe a new wardrobe, or going travelling, and that seems to work for a while. But then that feeling creeps back in and we're back to feeling like we thought we found the answer, but it must have not been since now we're right back where we started.

Here's the thing - external factors, such as our appearance, the city we live in, the places we've travelled, our careers, or roles we play, are not the answer to knowing ourselves.

* Knowing ourselves is an inward journey that requires being present, being aware of our inner world, and accepting our truth. We have an entire universe inside us, and knowing ourselves means removing the layers that block our true vision. Our identity is not outside of us; we are already whole and have all the information to be ourselves.
