Who are you?

Is defining who we are important?

The longer the journey I take in life, the more answers come my way, the greater the number of questions which seem to muse me…yet the question of who I am has lingered for a lifetime.

Connecting with ourselves

If we are “hard wired for connection” why is it so hard to connect with ourselves? Or is it just me? Perhaps it is hard to connect with our truest selves without also triggering thoughts, feelings and a sense of our vulnerabilities? 

Feeling vulnerable can cause psychological paralysis; we avoid dealing, speaking or sharing our vulnerabilities and build layers of coping mechanisms on top. So what happens when you peel back the layers? What mechanisms can we employ to connect with ourselves at our fullest, at our best and at our most vulnerable? It has been said that when we act with “Courage”, “Connect with others” and show “Compassion” towards ourselves we can explore the complete picture which makes us, us.

2.Discovering Your Passions. What drives you? Inspires you? ...

3. Discovering Your Skills. What are you good at?

4. Sum up with a personal statement as an example.
