Who are we?

This question has lingered in our hearts for long, what we are, what we stand for, our beliefs and values. We sometimes get lost trying to get to really discover who we are. Some of us have spent all our lives trying to really find out who we are, and a lot of times, we failed to discover.

Life has not promised to always be transparent as we might not really discover ourselves, we tend to fail a lot of times going round and round trying to find ourselves.

Who we are does not really depend on what we know or think we know, what we do, what we earn or how we live. It depends solely on our innermost minds. We fail to discover who we are because we do not know the reason for our existence. Trying to know the reason for existence is the first step in knowing who we are.

How to know the reasons for our existence is simple, we were all born with gifts but we fail to discover them. Over time discovering ones gift seems hard but when we listen to the yearning and cravings of our heart, we discover our gifts. Do not let anyone to deceive you into thinking or helping you discover your gifts, you alone can discover them on your own.

After discovering your gifts, some times we leave our gifts untapped and we loose them. But when we discover our gifts and use them, we meet our full potentials and by so doing our gifts lead us in the path of self discovery.

Reading and learning can also lead us in the path of self discovery, talking to people and opening minds can also lead us in the path of self discovery. Having mentors and hardwork leads also to the path of self discovery. Let's not also forget about having fun when trying to discover who we are, because sometimes in times of play and laughter, we discover what we are really good at doing. Some are comedians or musicians or actors but so not know it because they are too serious, looking for themselves in places that they do not belong but in the place of playing and joking, they discover themselves. Let us not be fazed by the things of this world, let's try out new things that may just lead us to the path of self discovery.

When our gifts are properly harnessed, then we can discover what we want and things we love doing, that way we are closer to discovering who we really are. Not all of us are meant to be doctors or engineers or lawyers, some of us are mechanics, tailors, fashion designer and the rest. Do that which gives you Joy and keep you happy, you might just be on the path of discovering who you really are. Live, laugh and love, because that might just be the beginning of discovering who you really are.
