It’s a question that everyone will ask themselves in one way or another, because we’re all unsure of who we really are. Right now, you’re likely a lot of things to different people, and you probably play a lot of different roles in different situations.
- You may be a brother or sister to someone.
- You may be a boyfriend or girlfriend to someone.
- You may be a father or mother to someone.
- You may be a boss or and employee, or both.
- You may be religious and practice your faith, or not.
- You may be a runner or swimmer, or any number of things.
You’re likely most, or all of these things, and more. Each of those are an identity that comes with a role and its own responsibilities. This can be very confusing because you’re somewhere in the middle of all of this. It’s like there is no real you; just a different person based on who you’re with and what you’re doing.
Not knowing who you are, or how “you” are defined, has a cost. That cost is your own mental, emotional, and even physical well-being and happiness. If you don’t know who you are, you end up going through life just reacting to events, and will find you don’t ever feel like you have any control over your own fate and future. This lack of agency and personal power and control can make you lose hope and become despondent. Without knowing who you really are, trying to figure out what makes you truly happy will be very difficult, if not impossible.
The search for happiness is also the search for who you really are. It’s about:
- What motivates you and gives you purpose?
- What makes you feel?
- What excites you?
- What makes you believe the things you believe?
- What makes you think the way you do?
- What makes you like the things you like?
You may never fully figure out who you really are, but if you put in the time and effort into searching, and asking questions about yourself, you’ll start to understand what is really important to you. This search for yourself will put you well on the way to finding what makes you happy. As importantly, you may find that you have the right to be happy.
Join us at College of Allied Educators to learn more about yourself, what motivates you, and how you can find happiness, meaning, and success in work, love, and life.
