#knowyoself

sometimes all we need is to look up from the things that dominate and narrow our perception. a once natural instinct that assisted us in being able to attend to danger or allow us to sharpen our senses in order for self preservation, now has become an unmastered aspect of the mind - frequently causing us to become fixated on an aspect, unable to see the whole picture in its entirety. we see the clouds, but forget the sun, we see the suffering but forget the joy. the focus of your attention is not your essence, your being, your all. mere polarities of the same piece of string. . . . #knowledge #understanding #perception #focus #higherself #transcend #ascend #peace #thirdeye #higherperception #knowyoself #youarenotyourmind

Loving yourself isn't justifying to yourself it's okay to drink a venti latte when you're overweight and unhappy. Respecting yourself It isn't an excuse to make up reasons in order to spit emotional poison at other people when you have a bad day. Knowing yourself isn't a reason to put others down because you want to boast about your own accomplishments. Loving/Respecting/Knowing yourself is about having the balls to call yourself out and own up to your own bullshit, because when you no longer have bullshit to be called out on, that's when you know you love yourself.
