When you are in harmony with your inner self, you will be happy.

When you are not in harmony with your inner self, you will be unhappy with yourself.

To reconnect with your inner self, do these two simple things.

Ask yourself, ‘Who am I?’ According to Ron Miguel Ruiz, ‘Asking yourself ‘Who am I?’ means taking the first step back to authenticity, or truth.’ If you have the courage to as ask yourself, ‘Who you are?’, you will learn more about who you really are, what matters to you, your dreams, and why you are where you are.

Embrace who you are. Do not try to separate yourself from the life you created. Don Miguel Ruiz writes, ‘Personal growth does get complicated when we try to distance ourselves from the character we created.’ If you do, it won’t help you.

Why You Should Never Judge Yourself

Do not judge yourself. You are good enough for yourself. Don’t worry about what other people are saying. Just focus on getting better every day.

Remember, no one is a perfect being. We all have our hidden flaws. You can’t control other people, but you can control yourself. You can control what you tell yourself. You can trust yourself. You can believe in yourself.

Remember why you are alive. Your purpose is to be your real self, not to worry about other people’s opinions. Worry about them, or growth, happiness, is yours to miss.

When you judge yourself, you are not helping yourself. You are assaulting yourself. According to Don Miguel Ruiz, ‘Self-judgment is an assault, and so is self-contempt. It’s an attack on the body to pity ourselves, to worry, or to obsess.’

No matter what you have been through in your life, no matter what you are going through right now, do not assault yourself. Do not judge yourself.

You are who you are for a reason. Do not change anything about yourself. When you do, you are no longer you, the real you. You are someone else.

You are no longer living your own life. You are living other people’s lives.

Your purpose is to live your life, not to judge your life.
