DISCOVERING YOURSELF 2
If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.-William J. Clinton
With everything happening so fast in today's world, discovering oneself becomes an herculean task and as such people loose their sense of purpose and mission in life. Notwithstanding, to discover oneself is a salient step to finding purpose.
If you live long
enough, you'll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you'll be a
better person. It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you.
The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.

1. Keep a journal.
Write down your thoughts, ideas and experiences into a journal. Your
journal is a summary of the things that go through your mind and your
experiences in life. Write sincerely and remember that nobody besides
you will read it.
You don't have to write daily or make any sort of a
set schedule for writing in the journal. You can just write whenever
you feel like it and have time. Don't force yourself to write, let the
habit develop naturally.
Going over your journal and analyzing it helps you make new realizations about yourself and your life.
2. Pursue new hobbies.
You may discover a new passion, or just have a good time exploring
new activities. Doing something new will give you new insight into
yourself and your talents. Challenge yourself!
3. Try something different
If you find yourself doing the same things over and over again,
switch it up. Do something spontaneous. Breaking out of your comfort
zone and giving yourself more freedom to do as you please will open your
mind and help you get more in touch with what makes you happy.
4. Get creative.
Pursue whatever creative activity you enjoy, or try a new one! Using
your imagination will uncover your innermost emotions that are currently
hidden in your subconscious mind.
8. Be open-minded about receiving new people into your life.
Make an effort to meet new people. Diversify your social circle.
Every new person offers a new unique perspective and new experiences
that help you further understand yourself. This is crucial if you don't
feel heard and supported by the people currently in your life. Seek out
positive, like-minded people who will support you and inspire you.
5. Listen to others.
Sometimes a different perspective can help you discover new sides of
yourself. Take careful note of what the people close to you say, there
can be truth there that you have hidden from yourself. Everybody sees
the world differently and feedback from others can help you see what you
would've otherwise missed. An outside perspective can be just what you
need to figure things out.
7. Evaluate your social circle and relationships.
Contemplate the people in your life and the roles that they play. Who
you choose to surround yourself with, and why, gives you insight into
who you are.
Think about the relationships in your life - if there are some that
are causing you stress, are these people making an effort to make things
better? If not, it is best be to distance yourself from those
people causing you stress. It's always beneficial to spend more time
with people who bring positive energy into your life and as little time as
possible with those who don't.
6. Appraise your goals.
Contemplate the reasons for why you have chosen the specific goals
that you currently have in your life. Think about the underlying
motivations behind them and whether you could be happy going in an
alternative direction instead.
If you find that you struggle to find motivation in your life right
now and are confused, re-evaluating what you truly want, will help.
YOU ARE A LEADER!!!
