Why it is important to get to know yourself.

Get to know you. This journey is about YOU!! Who are you? Can you answer that question?

The biker in this picture is alone. It is somewhat symbolic because she/he is at the top of a mountain in the midst of clouds, but also in areas that are clear. In my opinion, this represents your life. As we go throughout life, we will have moments of clarity, as well as moments that are not so clear, or even cloudy. Ultimately this journey is yours, and you will continue your 'ride' on your own. But hopefully, you will have the support from friends and family that you need to carry you through.

Ask yourself the most basic questions...

Do you know who you are?

Can you answer this without labels?

What are desires?

What do you dislike?

Life is difficult enough

Life can be difficult in itself. Having to navigate life's situations and experiences can prove to be hard at times, but it helps to have a solid foundation. In comparison, your foundation is how well you know yourself. Once you have a grasp on how you will respond to situations, disappointments, and obstacles you will face, you will be more equipped to deal with them. Being in tune to your strengths and weaknesses will ultimately assist you in being aware of situations, and determining when they are, or are not beneficial to you. You must do the work and ask yourself some difficult questions. Mining deep into your individual soul may be uncomfortable, but know that you can do the work and once you start, the benefits you will reap will prove to be of assistance for most of life's challenges you will face throughout your entire life.

“You are you, you have to protect you, you have to be kind to you and you have to love you!!”
