The power that comes from knowing yourself

Who you are is not who you think you are. You are a myriad and mixture of thoughts, feelings and experiences which exist in your past. Think of layers upon layers covering you up, so many that you can no longer even recognise that they are not you.

These layers are the root of any pain or struggle you perceive in your life. An awareness of this root in the only cure you will ever need.

I have always liked to question things, since i was very little, I recall myself being quite fearless in questioning why things were done a certain way even if they didnt work. But this sense of questioning at a young age didnt make me very popular nor was it welcomed. And so I shut this part of me down. But when i was faced with my own mental challenges, that innate characteristic in me, the questioner, suddenly appeared again - What is happening to me? why is it happening especially when I don’t want to feel like this? and what can I do to help myself?

So I urge you to question yourself - question what you are thinking, why are you thinking that. Is this really what you want to think? If it isn’t, what do you want to think? And then become aware of yourself, asking yourself these questions, that awareness, is you. Thats who you really are, beneath all those layers. For me, 20 years ago, this was step 1. 1 step that has changed the entire course of my life for the best.

Its simple, its free and its available for you to do right now.
