How to Get to Know Your True Self and Find Your Purpose
“To thine own self be true.” William Shakespeare
If you don’t yet know exactly who you are deep down or what your true purpose in life is, don’t worry.
Your true self and purpose may be buried under many years of doing what other people expect of you or of fulfilling your own expectations of what success is.
For example, you may have worked for years in a job that you don’t like very much, working your way up to the top of the company.
Once you arrive there, you still have intense feelings of discontentment. You’re surprised by this because you thought you’d feel happy once you achieved success in your career.
True contentment and success come from knowing your true purpose in life and doing things that allow you to live that purpose.
But, before you can do this, you need to get to know yourself better.
Getting To Know Yourself Better
There are several ways to do this, including:
- Journaling
- Meditation
- Mindfulness
- Spending quiet time alone without any distractions so that you can listen to your inner voice.
