Just 2 ways to get to know yourself better
Clichéd, but true. It all starts with knowing yourself. True contentment lies in figuring out who your soul wants you to be, and then aligning that with what you think, say, and do in your everyday life.
That's why the Bodhi Band program focuses on knowing yourself as one of the four pillars of an authentic, fulfilling life. In the program, you’ll focus on it off and on over several months, because that’s what it takes to create lasting change and ingrained knowledge.
Buf it you’re looking for some simple practices that you can do to start getting to know yourself better, these two are a great place to start...

- Work View: Why work? What does work mean for me? How does it relate to me vs. society? What defines good or worthwhile work? What do experience, growth, and fulfillment have to do with it?
- Life View: Why are we here? What's the meaning or purpose of life? Where do family, country, and the world fit in? What is good and evil? Is there a higher power or something transcendent, and if so, what is its impact? What is the role of joy/sorrow, justice/injustice, love, peace, and strife in life?
