If you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, completely lost, or down right bewildered about finding your identity, don’t be afraid to ask for help – it might end up being the smartest thing you can do. Find someone you can discuss your life with, maybe a confidante or a some professional. This small step can be very beneficial, as there is power in knowing that you are not alone.

“Ask for help. Not because you are weak. But because you want to remain strong.” ~ Les Brown

Having deep meaningful conversations with an expert or someone close to you might provide you with better understanding of yourself and the world around you. Take the undue stress out of making big decisions in your life by getting help for what’s important to you. Your efforts will undoubtedly provide you with much needed clarity and give you peace of mind.

The journey to your true identity can be challenging because there are so many factors that make you, you. The lack of a strong sense of self can lead to uncertainty and feeling like you’re lost, and even abandonment.

All things in existence have a reason for being, every ailment has a corresponding cure in nature, and each individual has a unique purpose to fulfill. What is yours?

I can tell you without hesitation that it’s worthwhile to find out who you are. When you discover who you are, you will become more resilient and boost your confidence – just accept the fact that it will take time and effort. As discussed in the above paragraphs, there are many effective ways to carry on with it like making a list of your strengths, writing in a journal, or meditating to boost clarity.

By being knowledgeable and aware of who you are, you will find more peace, satisfaction, contentment, and connectedness with yourself, those closest to you, and the world you live in.

All victories must first be won in the mind. There is no other way. In order to put on your cape and hit the sky, you must first acknowledge that you already possess one.

Remember, you are to God as the Mona Lisa is to Leonardo da Vinci; you are a masterpiece. You must always base your personal currency on what you are, vice what you are not. As the “what you ares” multiply, the “what you are nots” will fade away. Strip away all of the misconceived perceptions and unrealistic expectations. Become the beacon of light that shines bright like the sun. Be that. Be YOU. ~ Excerpt from “Cast Your Light.”
