When you know yourself, you will never be lonely because you will always have yourself to be with. When you achieve this state of self-awareness you will also realize that there is a greater awareness, the universal consciousness that is aware of you and with you at all times. One of the ways to connect with this consciousness is through prayer. It can connect you with all things.

You have to be willing to see beyond yourself for this to happen. If you blame others for your loneliness or the lack of attention you receive, things will not change. Then loneliness will prevail. But if you focus on getting to know yourself and your Creator, you will always have company.

Solution of the Day: Take some time to get to know yourself better. Keep a journal, meditate, pray, and listen.
