why is it important to know yourself?

We can only love that which we understand; that which we know.

Knowing yourself is important for your happiness. In order to be happy, you have to know yourself. You have to know what brings you joy and what brings you sorrow; what contributes to your wellbeing and what is detrimental to it. 

Also, when you know yourself, you have clarity about what you need and want. The truth is that if you don’t know what you need and want, you cannot ask for it and you cannot get it. 

Knowing yourself also helps with boundaries. If you don't know who you are, where you begin and end, and where the other person begins and ends—how are you going to set boundaries? 

Knowing yourself, shapes up the choices you make. Your choices become conscious when you know all of you. And when you make a choice consciously, it is always the right choice. You can never make a mistake when your choices are conscious. You make better choices when you know yourself, because you choose what serves your wellbeing. 

Unconscious choices are the choices that hurt us.

So get to know yourself. Knowing yourself leads to love, and love is the key to happiness. 

I am offering a 4-week live zoom workshop, in which you’ll learn to recognize your archetypes and uncover the soul lessons you are here to learn.

WHEN: March 3 – 24, 7:30-9:30 pm EST on zoom.

There will not be another Archetypes One workshop until next year.
