In Search of Depth

A desire to understand more about yourself can put you in a contemplative mood today. Whereas once you might have been satisfied to connect with your feelings, you may now wish to connect with the root of your feelings. Since you are likely feeling meditative and thoughtful, your initial impulse may be to try to take in the whole of your inner landscape at once. Consider, however, that you will likely learn more about yourself by addressing each new aspect of yourself in stages. You may find you can glean a more complete comprehension when you see how your past has shaped your present. Formerly incomprehensible parts of your personality can take on a new rationality today when viewed in light of your experiences.

The simplest method we can employ when attempting to discover our true complexity is focused reflection. It is only when we are willing to look beyond the surface characteristics that we exhibit each day that we can peel back the layers of our personalities to find the innate depth that exists within us. As we become explorers, immersing ourselves in the inner landscapes of our minds, we can begin to explore the uncharted areas of our psyches in order to discover who we truly are. The deeper we delve, the greater our understanding of the forces that shaped our development grows. We then need no longer guess at our intentions because we can clearly see the motives underlying our impulses. As you fearlessly and boldly contemplate your life today, you will discover parts of yourself you never knew existed.
