Knowing Who You Are

Happiness = Self-Love

Self-Love = Knowing Who You Are

Chances are you don't know who you are.

 

True Self Knowledge is

The best-kept secret around.

It's a secret you keep from yourself

And yourself keeps from you.

Why? To avoid upsetting

The applecart of life-as-you-know-it

You as you know you.

It's kind of like being in a bad marriage--

You know something is wrong,

But it seems like an awful lot of work

To make it right.

It's simpler just to leave things

The way they are.

To pretend that you're okay,

And even though you're not as happy

As you could be today,

Tomorrow will probably be better.

The problem is tomorrow never comes

Because it is always today.

It is always the day before

Things are going to turn around for you.

The day before you're really going

To start living…

The day before the only day

For you to make the difference

Only you can make in your life…

The day when you become the captain

Of your own ship and take it off auto-pilot…

The day you say:

I'm going to stop this madness

And find out what being here

Is really all about.

What being me is

Really all about.

Who I really am.

Now let me assure you

That you don't have to know

How to make this great discovery.

How could you

When you haven't made it yet?

The way will be shown to you

Once you step out of your inertia

And dare to think that most radical thought:

I want to be happy.

I want to know who I am.

When you make…and mean…

This most powerful declaration

A whole new world will open up for you

Even though you may not feel it right away.

Remember, you're very used to being

The "old you" and change doesn't come easy.

It's just extremely important for you to remember

Three things:

1.You don't know who you really are

2. You can find out

3. You won't be really happy here until you do.

Remember, too, this knowledge has been a secret

And the powers that be--in yourself and in the world--

Prefer to keep it that way.

They prefer that you live and die

In ignorance of your truest self

So there is a part of you

That will continue to keep you

Engaged with it

And all the struggles and dramas

And even joys of your current life

And every time you stray too far

Into Self-Discovery

It will try and pull you back

But if you are determined

To go forward

Determined to find your Self

And make who you are

A living reality in your life

Then your Internal Guidance System

Will continue to shine a light

For you to follow

Rest assured,

You have nothing to lose and

Everything to gain here

The truth is that the old ways

Of the old you

Aren't working as well anymore

Humanity needs a new vision

And it needs you

To bring it into focus

It needs you

To open your heart

Where it has been closed

And give who you really are

A chance to express Her/Him Self.

How else can it happen

Without your willingness?

Your attention….

Your engagement in

The most amazing and worthwhile journey

You could ever undertake?

Going to the moon

Pales in comparison

To realizing that you have the potential

Not just to love yourself

Fully and completely

But to be a part of turning human beings

Into Beings of Love of the highest order

 

Of being the solution

To one of our biggest….

If not the biggest

Problem:

Man's ignorance of

His/her true nature.

And so I invite you

To embark on this journey

Home

To your truest Self

Knowing that just reading these words

And taking them in

Is your first step

To the happiness

That only Self-Love

Can bring.
