You’ve likely heard people say they need to find themselves. Perhaps you’ve even said it yourself, but what does it really mean to find yourself?
People who say they need to find themselves arrived at that conclusion brought about by a moment of self-awareness and self-reflection. By the point they are thinking this, it’s usually to address something essential in their life that may be missing or in need of addressing. It could be a character flaw that needs to be address but has thus far been ignored, or it could be something important they feel is missing from their life. This can come about as a result of a long-running unsatisfactory situation in their life.
In essence, they may be missing something and it’s making them unhappy, and that unhappiness can be expressed out to the world and towards people around them. This can cause a lot of imbalance and strife and make everyone around miserable.
Perhaps you’re in a similar situation. It may not be severe or that specific. It could be that you’re just feeling lost in some way and just trying to figure out what it is that is missing from your life. You may be trying to find something and haven’t figured out how. Perhaps you’re approaching a point in your life where you’re looking for more meaning in your life and the pursuits you previously had no longer hold any particular importance.
This search can be aggravating and frustrating because you don’t really know where to start or what it is it may look like even if you find it. What you may find yourself doing is grasping at straws and taking anything in hopes that this might be the things you’re looking for?
To have any real chance of success though, you need to figure yourself out first. You need to understand yourself as a person, including your flaws, and your fears. You need to know what your hopes and aspirations are and what it is that motivates and inspires you. This understanding will form the base from which you can start exploring. By knowing who you are, you won’t be searching randomly. You’ll be doing so from a place of understanding of what is important to you and will allow you to focus.
Finding yourself is a process that you do within your own mind and self, and only then will you really know what it is that will make you happy and complete.
Join us at College of Allied Educators to learn more about how you can overcome your disappointments, fears, and setbacks. Take control of your life, and find your success and happiness.
