How to discover your true self.
Introduction: Have you ever wondered who you are and why it's so hard to find your passion or do the things you do? Many people struggle with this all over the world. Discovering our identity can be a difficult journey.
Where Can We Find an Accurate View of Ourselves? "Many false self-perceptions are too deeply rooted to be corrected with positive self-talk. We must identify the lies we believe in, renewing our minds with truth if lasting change is what we are after. Humbling and committing yourself to a change of mind will redirect the course of your life. Whether you perceive yourself positively, acquiring a vision of your true self through the lenses of truth is transforming.
How Do You See Yourself? Remember, for now, I am not asking you to describe the person you want to be; I am asking you to explain how you see yourself. This perception is your self-worth. It is the mental image you have of your own identity and self-worth. It is a composite of all things, recognising the mirror you investigate to see who you are. As you read, I want you to remember how that picture of yourself differs from the accurate picture.
"What distortions about your true identity have you embraced to the point of seeing them as reality? Recognise yourself. List them and identify them. Look at your tolerance level, what makes you happy, what annoys you, what makes you cry, how you want people to see you, the lies, the truth you tell yourself. The key is recognising these behaviours to navigate your relationships and life, understand what you want to change, and face your challenges.
Where do you look for your significance? Our search for identity is closely related to the search for relevance. We can only know how valuable we are once we know who we are. We all look for our identity in certain people or things occasionally. Breaking out of the trap of performing to gain people's approval demands that we identify false patterns in our beliefs and behaviour.
