There's no better way to make a difference in your life than to increase the amount of self-knowledge you have. Why? Because what's within us determines what we do with our lives.

If you can see what's within, you'll be able to change it, thereby changing your actions, your life, and the way you relate to others.

Not only that, but the more you explore, the more you learn and you get to find what causes you to feel happy, sad or spiritual.

By understanding the causes and how they work, you can change them and that means you can determine how you feel inside.

If we can't see what's inside us, we can't really understand it, and if we can't understand it, we can't fundamentally change it.

If we look inside we can see our inner world of thoughts, feelings and emotions, and by seeing them we get to understand them.

To give an example, if you want to understand what anger feels like and you only relied upon someone else's view of it, wouldn't you miss seeing it working in yourself? It's like asking someone else what an apple tastes like. You know what an apple tastes like by tasting it.

By studying inside you get to see all the subtle and obvious manifestations of anger or any emotion, how it works, what it makes you think, feel and do, then you understand how it works within you. And that's the most powerful way to change.
