Deep inside of us, there is a place called 'no man's land' where we hide our deepest fears, weaknesses, shames, and primal desires. But if we shine a light on this place, we can find the strengths also hiding there.

As Socrates once said, 'Know thyself.' Bearing this in mind, aren't our shadows part of us as well?

Why do we avoid the 'dirtiest' parts of ourselves? Are we afraid of letting our masks fall down?

We can't fully embrace our self-knowledge quest by looking only at our brightest side.

Chances are that in the quest to fully unleash our power, we have to get our hands dirty, digging through the metaphorical mud that covers our true selves.
