In Continuation to our previous post in this Journey of Self-Discovery, there are 5 critical questions to inspire the necessary actions to be taken towards discovering your true self and ways to eradicate any abnormal or improper way of living. The First Question is WHO ARE YOU?
This is a very deep question that should be responded to with the whole of you. Think with your heart, note down the good/bad habits, daily routine or try asking your friends and family. You might think getting people's opinion is not a good idea but it will help to weigh your thoughts VS what people around you think of you.
Getting to know who you truly are should start by tracing your steps back to the beginning of your journey in life (when you were born). There is a big difference in what you were 10 -15 years ago compared to who you are today. You might have lived a good life and still hope for a greater future or been through so many hurdles and wish to find a path to a better life.
You can start by distinguishing yourself from the past, embraced the true person you want to become based on your abilities/interpersonal skills and build your future.
Define your Abilities - the things you know so well or do right and gives you joy to keep doing – Your Passion. Don’t forget to note the wrong things you do as well, it is wise to identify your past mistakes and correct them while you retrace your steps.
Begin a Daily Routine that will direct your path and guide you in fulfilling your dreams till you get to that place God wants you to be; the main purpose for bringing you to this world.
Focusing on this question, it is not enough to believe your good character is the true person you are. Character is just a tool for living and gives people different perspectives of who you are which you are not aware of.
Self – awareness is the act or process of understanding or having a knowledge of oneself.
You cannot be an adviser or counsel other people to have an impact in their lives, if you are not aware of your own self.
Watch out for the Next post as the series (Journey Of Self-Discovery) continues.
