There are lot of blogs and websites that talk about someone’s journey to self discovery. In today’s world, people are occupied with their daily charades so much that they tend to forget who they really are. They look down the path they covered and often wonder what they have become. Self discovery isn’t a new trend but has been there for thousands of years. People often like to re-evaluate their life at different stages. Some do it before there 30s but for some it can come at their 50s. Most of the people are in love with themselves so much that can be measured with number of self love thoughts sites that are present on the internet.

People tend to think about their choices and decisions more than ever while they embark their journey of self discovery. The major issue with such journey is that sometimes it brings them to ugly reality of their lives. Few of these people accept what they are while many of these people try to save themselves from harsh truth and create an artificial life around them. Some try to change their line of work and some try to look different. With so many beauty tips online, people try to change their appearance so that they do not recognize their older selves and create their new identity.

Many such people also try to change their habit. Self discovery is a tough road to travel and most of the people change themselves with skewed sense of moral obligation to themselves as well as an attempt to become what they aren’t at all. There are many online vegan food blog maintained by people who regularly eat meat or used to eat but have quit it. They try to become a different person altogether bbut they are kidding themselves, if not anything else. One can’t change himself or herself without actual realization of what they fundamentally are. They consider that by changing few of their habits, they can become a new person, but it is hard to do than said.

Many of us have been on this stage and wished if we can go back and change ourselves. But we can’t. The only reason is that what we become after choices we make, there is no going back. We can’t change the decisions and choices we made in past and hence can’t change what we have become. But few try to do futile attempts to change themselves.

So, all in all, people need to accept their reality more often than they do. They shouldn’t run away from what they really are and silently accept what they have become. This is the best way for self discovery and the only way forward to bring everlasting changes which can certainly guide them in the future. Having said that, one should also confide in their family and friends to get the necessary direction and support in order to change themselves. With this, people can actually become a better person and live quietly with their real existence.
