Looking for Yourself, Knowing Your True Strength

 


The term “Self-discovery” means identifying yourself and your needs. Self-discovery is very important. If you do not discover yourself, and know exactly what you want from life, you have no idea what you are living for.  

A step to self-discovery is identifying your needs. Most people are clueless of what they want. To identify your needs, you first need to take a step back and think thoroughly.

Then, when you are in a relaxed state of mind, meditate and focus on your thoughts.

Ask yourself questions like what makes you happy, what makes you sad and so on. Along with the question of what, also ask why it makes you feel certain emotions. Seek a deep and strong reason behind it, not a common or general answer.

When you have identified what makes you happy and sad, you can focus on the things that make you happy and stay away from moments that make you sad.

After you have the answer to all of your questions, write them down on a piece of paper so it will be easier for you to view it whenever you need to.

Conducting a Self-Assessment for Self-Discovery "There is no greater journey than the one you must take to discover all the mysteries that lie within you." - Michelle Sandlin

In general, many of us tend to look at the faults of others without considering or examining ourselves. We unconsciously judge others, not ourselves. Conducting a self-assessment is essential for realizing and shaping ourselves into the best versions of ourselves. You also need someone who is brutally honest to help you with this self-assessment.

Usually, the person who can help you is someone you can trust. It could be your partner or a close friend. Additionally, there are a number of self-assessment tests you can take to discover yourself. Self-assessment involves looking deep within yourself to gain INSIGHT.

Self-assessment doesn't mean you take the time to reflect on yourself and study the person you see every time you look in the mirror. The first step to a deep self-assessment is to be HONEST about yourself. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and take the time to study the person you see.


Discovering your true self can sometimes be daunting

Discovering your true self can sometimes be daunting. This requires an understanding of your personal aspirations, emotions, and even spiritual values. It also involves knowing how best to fulfill your desired needs in life. If you understand all these aspects of life, then you are on the right path to self-discovery.

What we usually focus on in life is earning a living, chasing money, and we tend to forget the spiritual aspect of our lives. We neglect the fact that we need to balance our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. You need to look within your soul and find what it needs. It's important to note that we are not simply vessels; rather, we have a true self, consisting of a soul that also longs for fulfillment. We need to connect with ourselves and draw attention to or distance ourselves from external distractions. In most cases, our focus is on fulfilling external desires.

A sense of fulfillment will never come if we are constantly looking outward. In most cases, we are preoccupied with the desire to fulfill physical needs, and this causes us to lose our sense of self. Take time to meditate. This will help you realize and understand yourself better.

People rarely take into account the importance of spiritual self-discovery. Take some time to explore the spiritual aspect of ourselves. As a result, we will discover a unique and different aspect to our personality we may not even have realized existed.

We are made up of physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional dimensions. We experience the universe through the individual and collective lenses of these dimensions.

This is not something entirely new.

We know that humanity has always considered these dimensions. We have been informed through Roman and Greek mythology, Roman astrology and ancient religion how spirituality has played an important role in human development.

We perhaps can relate best with moments like witnessing a sunrise or an amazing act of nature that leaves us in a state of awe and wonder, admitting there are things in our life that are beyond our ability to explain and control. We may consciously or unconsciously acknowledge the desire to discover this power and it is what we can term “spirituality”.

When we talk about spiritual well being, we inevitably think of God. Whoever or whatever we conceive “him” to be. Some consider him a supreme being and others consider him as “the man upstairs” a father figure. Some may reject the concept of any sort of being, and find their spirituality elements through earth, or in Mother Nature.
