Find yourself to Be yourself!

Most people tend to look for something that's hard to find when it comes to finding (or knowing) themselves. In my experience in counseling and coaching clients, I came across a number of individuals that seem to be facing or experiencing the same dilemma of not knowing who they really are. Most of the uncertainty came from the sense of a loss or unknown identity. Now please allow me to explain this, because I'm not necessarily clinically diagnosing, but I'm attempting to draw on a particular conclusion. When I say loss of identity, I'm not necessarily speaking about "memory loss" or "amnesia" but a kind of uncertainty or they're just out of touch with "themselves". That's why I've titled this blog "Find yourself to know yourself"! Finding something loss can be done by a plethora of ways, one way could be by ones own recollection of their life as they know it. This could be a matter of where your were born, who your parents are or were, and the number of siblings you may have? Maybe, if your parents are still alive, you can ask them questions concerning your childhood; like what kind of child were you? Did you cry allot? Where your spoiled or nurtured? Did you stay with relatives allot when you were small? Things type of questions could be useful in determining things about your personality or moods, likes and dislikes! The importance however of finding yourself is paramount to you actually being yourself, because who you are is really what you become in life. The bible says as a man thinks so is he. In other words, take some time and ask yourself, "just who am I?" And once you determine who that is, make it a point for the rest of your life to be that person, and give your best contribution in life in helping someone else! Live life to the fullest, pursue your dreams, follow your passions, and make the most out of your time by discovering first, "who you really are"!
