Struggle Thing
I had an experience when I felt not authentic. I mean, I felt like another person. I tried to act like him. I pretend to be like him. But, in the end, I missed myself.
That’s why I chose to be myself again. I was looking for my authentic self inside my body and spirit. I asked myself, “Who are you exactly? What is your uniqueness?”
It led me to the acceptance of being myself. I am grateful cause it is one of the best things in my life. Finding my authentic self is like finding the real me after several years. It becomes clear. Now I know who I am. I know what my uniqueness is. And I know what I should do next.
That is my struggle thing.
Once you find your authentic self, you will see life as what it is, not what it should be.
After accepting my authentic self, I am looking for a mission in my life. I believe everyone has a different life mission depending on their uniqueness. My core mission on this earth is to help people in some areas. I want them to be safe here and hereafter.
I probably don’t follow other people’s journeys cause I have my journey. Knowing myself also brings me on a new journey. It might be hard but fulfilling at the same time. It’s better to choose the right track than the fast track of it.
Who are you?
What is your uniqueness?
What is your life mission?
Do you follow your journey?
Those questions will lead you to find your authentic self.
You will not know who you are until you are honest with yourself. Please be honest with your personality, character, and what you want. Honesty comes from your heart. So, listen to your heart, my friend.
You are unique. Just be yourself.
Let me give you a practical guide to finding your authentic self.
- Be neutral. Lower your ego and desire.
- You can meditate or calm your mind.
- Ask the above questions when your mind is calm.
- Don’t follow what other people do for a while. But, do what makes you happy from the inside of your heart. For example: if you are happy to swim, go swimming. If hiking makes you happy, go hiking. Follow your heart.
- Do it until you find your authentic self.
- Don’t be afraid to be different. Embrace it instead.
- Do what makes you happy and valuable constantly.
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what your struggle thing is. But struggling to find your authentic self will make you happier and more valuable. Because, once again, you are unique.
