In my reflection recently, I discovered that people who don’t bother to discover who they are often live a life of no identity-ordinary lives.
I also found out that most celebrities in the world today
across all field of work have just one thing in common—self-discovery (you may
name any celebrity that you know across the world, and you’ll find out that
this is true).
Often times we are so much concerned about the future that
we forget to discover what will actually take us there—the future.
And that goes to tell us that, without self-discovery;
You become an entity of no identity
You can never make any impact in life
Life becomes boring and meaningless
Choosing a perfect career path for you becomes a guess work
or a difficult thing to do.
The truth is, the day you discover who you are is the day
you are born….
I want to believe, reading
this post today is someone;
Who wants to impact his or her world through self-discovery.
Who wants to be identified with ONE THING—something to
associate his/her name with.
Who wants to experience true living other than mere
existence.
Who wants to become a solution to someone’s problem.
Whose sense of value and worth is attached to his/her
identity.
Who desire to remain relevant to life by his/her identified
contribution to mankind.
Life is a journey,
it’s never about speed but going in the right direction…
NOW, what
exactly is self-discovery?
Self-discovery as it reads is a combination of two words:
Self + Discovery
Self, means an individual person (herself, himself, oneself,
myself)
Discovery on the other hand is gotten from the verb-
‘Discover’ which means;
1. To Uncover
2. To expose
3. To reveal
4. To make known.
Why do I
need to discover my real-self?
Your number one mission is that of self-discovery. If you know who you are, then you’d be able to figure out what to do or not do.
You need self-discovery for the following reasons;
o
Identity
o
Relevance/ Impact / Solution
o
Self-Core Strength-Awareness
o
Determine lifework/Career path
o
Fulfilment
How do I
discover my real-self?
The only cheapest way to discover WHO you
are is by asking yourself these questions;
o
What is my dominant gift?
o
What makes me unlike every other person?
o
What do I like to do or hear about most times?
o
What energizes me?
o
What do I love? (Bill Gate loves computer. Tiger
Wood loves gulf. Lionel Messi loves football. Asa loves music)
o
What do I love to read about?
o
What type of thoughts energizes me?
o
What would I read about all through the night
with utmost pleasure?
o
What exactly do people consider my greatest
gift?
All of these are clues to discovering who you really are.
Get a pen and plain paper and start working on these questions…
You’re just about making the greatest discovery of your
life…
What next?
Stay tuned….
