The Great Search For Self

Mentally

I looked within myself and thought, you can do this. What is it? You wonder. It’s the beginning of a self-discovery journey. Accept yourself first and strive to be the best version of yourself every day. A daunting task? True indeed, but what do you have to lose? Life is already difficult, and opportunities seem to dwindle and fade away right in front of you. Talent? Do you have what it takes? 

Are you hungry enough to drop everything and scour the earth until you manifest your heart’s desire? The question remains: how hungry are you? But wait, what’s the motive behind this sudden need for self-search? Is your mind in the right place? Are you doing it for a quick ego fix/boost or capital gains? You have to be in this for the long haul. Maybe you’ve realised why/what/who you are and your life purpose. You must ask and answer questions to move forward to the next chapter.

Emotionally

What can I do to make a change, not only in my life but the world? I searched deeper within myself and thought, you can do this. You’ve been running away from your true self for a long time. Is the task proving to be too great to attempt? Is your family’s achievement level so high you become nauseated every time you think about it?

From attaining university degrees to working in various industries, none seem to make your heart skip a beat. At a tender age, you used to call yourself the people’s employer, not the employee. What happened? Let me guess: life occurred. What university should have taught you is learning never stops; it’s a lifelong endeavour. Think of yourself as a brand, continuously improving and promoting yourself. Invest in yourself and learn more. Knowledge + action = power.

Making a change starts with a thought and a feeling, which grows into a small step and another small step. Before you know it, you are on an epic adventure. We live in the information age, and there is something for everyone. All you have to do is search deep within yourself. Is your heart in the right place?

Spiritually

The aim is to live by your heart’s desires, and if you do, whatever work you do will not feel like work. This information age does not conform to the old rules: go to university, get a high-paying job in a huge conglomerate, and then move up the ladder. No! This information age encourages us to be independent and use our minds to create wealth and happiness. Accept yourself, acknowledge your higher self, and manifest the reality or circumstances necessary for success.

You cannot run away from your true self. Everything starts from within, and remember, wherever you go, there you are! Mahatma Gandhi said there is no god higher than the truth. Meditate, know yourself, and discover what makes you happy and excited. Find a way to make a living doing just that because you are the truth, and you know it. Share your talent and teach others.
