7 SECRETS TO SELF-DISCOVERY:
knowing yourself is not just healthy for yourself mentally and spiritually, but it's the beginning of self-leadership, leadership is first self-discovery, then self-expression.The world is and has been in a state of constant confusion, it never rewards people who add to the confusion by not knowing and owning who they are, below is a simple guideline to your personal discovery journey.
1-Practice silence :Being still not only helps us to know who God is but helps us to discover our authentic self, take an hour and pause your life, then ask yourself "What is my purpose? "Because your purpose is eternal, it determines your identity, your purpose is created from your mission, your mission determines your identity, your identity is not fixed, it is responsive to your environment.
2-Find out who you attract :They say "Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are "this statement is very true, it's not everyone we will attract to us but whoever you attract reveals your values and your values reveal who we are at the moment. Steve Jobs attracted Steve Wozniak and Apple was born.
3-Determine the problems you love solving :You are not what you post on facebook necessarily or who people say you are, identity crisis is when you portray an image you want others to think of you but it's divorced from intentional processes, you are what you passionately love to do everyday. You are the problems you love to solve, so find out what problems you love solving for people, that is who God has destined you to be.
4-Find out what you love to spend your time doing :The way we spend our time determines and reveals our destiny and identity, what activities fill you up with joy and bliss? Gravitate away from activities that don't fill you with joy, that bad emotion is your authentic self telling you to move away from crisis.
5-Watch responses from the world :Whenever you perform a task, any task,notice how people around you respond. Responses show you who you are, reactions show you who you are not.
6-What do you love to learn about the most?:Your real you, your authentic you will gravitate towards certain role models,certain books, certain events and movies to learn from, when a child is growing they crave for food, it's the same with you, what you are craving to learn is a way of your authentic self saying "Let me out".
7-What hurts you? :If mediocrity hurts, you were meant to provide excellence. If disease angers you, you were meant to heal people.
Your generation needs you, marry your potential, your gifts, your personality to the needs of people around you and you will create and manifest your unique identity and that is real success, discovering and expressing who you are.
Have a terrific Tuesday.
