Rich Inner World
Since childhood, you've had a rich inner world. Inside you, you feel, is an endless supply of images, stories, opinions, desires and passions. Unlike most people, you are fine with spending time by yourself, and may even prefer it, since you are very good at enjoying your time alone and entertaining yourself. Your dreams are wild and imaginative. People like you are often creative in some art or like to create things. You have a huge source of creative energy and it will keep going for all of your life.
<br><br>
The only drawback to this is our interconnections with others. Sometimes having a rich inner world means we spend a little less time in social engagements, while some even become introverted and avoid most of their social engagements. One can enjoy a rich inner life without sacrificing external relationships, but this is a skill that is as individual as a fingerprint, as we all have our own challenges to face when it comes to relationships. Make sure you leave enough time both for yourself and for the people who matter to you.
A Normal Connection
You have a good healthy connection with your inner self. That means you do not turn away from your core being, but you have also changed a lot since making that core person some time in your youth.
You have added layers of knowledge, understanding, skills and opinions to was once a simpler model of yourself. This is the healthiest process that we engage in. As children, our inner selves are usually highly developed, and they lose power as time goes by. However, there are two traps - the trap of clinging to your inner world and the trap of forgetting about it all together. We are happy to report you seem to have avoided BOTH!
Your Inner World Needs Developing
According to your answers, there's a fair chance that your inner world has been neglected. That means that you haven't really been paying much attention to your own inner psyche, your mind and your heart. To be in harmony with the world and the people around us, it's important that we find harmony within ourselves. Inside you is a fountain of knowledge, dreams, desires, stories and opinions - all of things you really like, since you like things you like... It is an incredible thing to know yourself well.
<br><br>
Set aside some time for yourself, spend more time in nature and in thought. Wonder the universe and its miracles, find a spiritual connection that leads inwards. It is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. Try to make time for yourself no matter how busy you are, look up old memories and relive them in your mind. The way to happiness always goes through YOU.
