When you know yourself, you’re happier. Plain and simple. This is because you don’t spend effort and time on avoiding or denying who you are. You can relax and be open. When you can express who you are and what you want, other people can see you, and you are more likely to actually get the things you most need. You can let go of dull feelings of alienation and actually start to enjoy yourself—enjoy your self. You can gain immense satisfaction out of just being you.
