The work of knowing the self requires honesty and willingness; honesty to be able to accept that the truth IS the truth and willingness to face all that comes up as the truth. The truth is often painful and necessary, but the truth is also liberating. It will free you.

Accept yourself by accepting others. Accept your truths in everyday thoughts, desires, behaviors and encounters. The truth is all around you, part of you, inside and outside of you. It is what you seek. Know yourself. Be willing to be honest and truthful. It’s a good place to start.
