THE JOURNEY TO SELF DISCOVERY

 



Self-discovery is a critical aspect of personal growth and development, allowing individuals to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Whether you're feeling lost or simply looking to better understand yourself, embarking on a journey of self-discovery can be a transformative experience. 

The process of self-discovery begins with reflecting on one's beliefs, values, and goals. Take some time to think about what truly matters to you ( your definite chief aim) and what you hope to achieve in life. By understanding your core values and aspirations, you can better align your actions with your true self.




Exploring your strengths and weaknesses is another crucial step in self-discovery. Take note of your talents and abilities, as well as areas where you may need to improve. By acknowledging and accepting both your strengths and weaknesses, you can work towards personal growth and development.

Self discovery is one of the major components to personal development. The long life journey of personal development begins with self discovery. Amongst the things you should discover very early in life is who you are.

Knowing who you are is very necessary in the sense that it tells you much about yourself; your giftings/abilities, your passion, your strengths and weaknesses, your personality and so on. All these are indicators telling you about what your definite chief aim or purpose in life is. All living things are wired in a way and manner so as to help them fulfill the purpose for which they were made within a given field or jurisdiction. For example, the bird was made to fly and it never struggles to do so because wired in it is the ability to fly. Similarly the fish doesn't struggle with swimming because it came with that ability at birth. 

Trapped inside you is an ability, a gift or talent to fulfill the purpose for which you were made and the discovery of that should be your daily focus. 

All the successful people we see today are people who were able to discover who they are and their unique abilities to fulfill their purposes in a particular field. They are always known for one major thing. When I mention the name of Cristiano Ronaldo, the world knows him for one particular thing; football. When I mention the name of Mr. Bean, we all know him for one thing; comedy. What will the world know you for the next 5-20 years? Discovering yourself and focusing on your abilities should be your number one goal.

In conclusion, self-discovery is a valuable and transformative process that can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. By taking the time to explore your beliefs, values, and goals, as well as your strengths and weaknesses, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world. I encourage all readers to start their own journey of self-discovery and embrace the process with an open mind and heart.

 I recommend that you get these classic books to help you discover who you are.

CHRONOS AND KAIROS

We all have the same amount of time given to us in a day. Both the rich and the poor have the same seconds, minutes and hours in a day. The correct usage of time is a major factor that differentiate successful people from unsuccessful people.  Chronos refers to the measured, continuous time. It is the forward moving time which is measured as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. Kairos on the other hand means the right or opportune time, a defining moment. What we do with our chronos determines what will happen to us in a Kairos moments. Most young people dream of how they will become successful one day without using their everyday (chronos )to prepare for that one day (Kairos). It is said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity.  Let me explain with this analogy. Students will be very familiar with this. Most students in the course of the semester do not really prepare for the exams they will be writing at the end of the semester. They use their chro...

DECISIONS DECIDE DESTINY

Image
Decisions are very powerful in the sense that the quality of ours lives can mostly be traced to the kinds of decisions we often make. Decisions are actually vehicles that carry us from a particular level in life to a different destination (consequence). Your current level in life is a report card of the compound effect of all decisions you made in life so far. Midwifing your current level and the glorious destiny you always think of is the quality of decisions you make momentarily. God has prepared each of us for greatness but only few people will lay hold on that which was written about them through the making of quality decisions. Your destiny coming true has a lot to do with your daily decisions and choices. According to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will continue to be at rest or in a uniform motion unless there is an external force acting on it. Similarly, any situation will remain unchanged unless a decision is made to act upon it.   The law of cause and effect al...

THE LAW OF ASSOCIATION.

Image
One of the easiest way to rise or plateau in destiny is through associations. And one of the things that define us is the kind of people we have within our circle of influence. You've probably heard the saying that "you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with". Your circle of influence defines how your life is and going to be. There is no way you will be surrounded by people with a corrupted mindset and ideology and expect your life to be different from theirs. It is against the principle of induction. In magnetism, there is a principle by which a magnetic material can be made into a magnet and that is by attaching the magnetic material to a magnet. Even though the magnetic material isn't a magnet but it can act as a magnet by reason of it being attached to the magnet. The magnet induces its magnetic properties into it which makes it behave exactly as a magnet. This same principle also works in our association with others. The kind of people...
