Self Discovery

Self-discovery comes when you are comfortable with who you are and what you are.
Self-discovery is not pushing yourself aside and trying to find someone else out there, self-discovery is searching within.
Being around people who don’t remind you of your weaknesses makes you realize that there is more to people than weaknesses and strengths but what lies in-between and that’s a moment of self-discovery.
Being around people who do not remind you every day that you are different makes you realize being different is the art of loving. Eyes to see the beautiful differences in all of us.
Hearts to feel different emotions, pain, anger, love, hatred.
Our ability to identify what makes us different from others.
Who I am is a lot of people. When I’m with my family I’m a daughter, I’m a sister, I’m a mother, I’m a brother, I’m a father. To my friends I’m a friend. Ask the right question, what I like is not who I am.
Sometimes who I am depends on who you are to me. So ask yourself, who are you to me? Because self-discovery does not come from identifying what and who you like, self-discovery is learning how many things you can be to different people and be able to accept that. Self-discovery comes from knowing to what lengths you can go until your guilt cannot let you sleep at night, who we really are comes from what we are capable of when the consequences of our actions are taken out of the equation. Self-discovery does not come from answering the question “who are you”. I think who we are and who we will be will always be a mystery to us. Who we or self-discovery is knowing that you might wake up a different person tomorrow and be able to embrace that.
I can be who I am without any guilt and that is how I know I am being who I actually am.
We cannot find who we are in relationships, but only who we are when we are with them.
We find who we are every day, at university, at home, at church, in times when life has knocked us down, on a cool morning listening to your favorite song, when a stranger smiles at you, when you help that homeless guy with some change and you feel warm inside, when that little kid on the bus smiles at you, or when you eat your favorite ice cream, when the old lady down the street tells you look pretty or when you look into the mirror and you love who you have become and you like what you see but we self-discover. Self-discovery does not come from a long journey but from the smallest moments we experience every day, it is those moments that tell us WHO WE REALLY ARE.
