Good morning fellow Steemians. It’s yet another beautiful day and it holds a lot of promises for us. Let’s make the best out of it, shall we?

In today’s episode, we are going to tackle the simplest but thought-provoking question “WHO AM I?” I’m sure most of you have started answering the question in your minds with the simplest of answers you can imagine. We give all sorts of answers for this question, ranging from your name to the food you like best. Inasmuch as that tells someone a little bit about you, it doesn’t really answer the question. I call this particular question thought-provoking because it requires a lot of thinking and assessment to figure out who you really are.

Majority of us here have still not figured out who we really are. We have not sat down to assess ourselves to the in-depth to know what we are really made of. We often dwell on what people observe about us and we make it a part of our lives by accepting it as who we are.

It would take you by surprise if you are to sit down and dedicate a period of time to analyze yourself. Find out about your strength and weakness and your potentials. Most of us here are under-utilizing our potentials and our strengths to helps us grow in the right direction and also to help society develop. If we are to look deep within ourselves to unearth the talents we have and to use them to the maximum, I’m sure many of us would not be where we are today because we would have been attaining much greater heights than we are doing now.

So let’s do this little exercise, shall we? I would want us to that 3 days of your choice and dedicate it to knowing yourself. Unburden yourself from all what people think you are and find out for yourself who you really are. List down everything that comes to mind: your beliefs, your strengths, your weaknesses, your passion, your goals, your vision and mission, your target, your temperament, your phobia, among others. Figure out what you are doing right in achieving your dreams and goals and work on what you seem to be doing wrong. You would be amazed by the results you get at the end of this exercise. It would also serve as a guideline to live your life.

Your life is yours to live. Don’t live by what others have marked out for you, but rather, live by what you know yourself to be. Live out to your full potential so that you don’t end up having any regrets in life.

Have an awesome day as yourselves and remember to be you always.
Ciao!

Yh you are on point bruh, But sometimes people fear what others might think about them negatively because of character assassination and we all will agree to the fact that, no one will like to see this happen to him. But all the same, it takes great courage and determination to keep moving even when you know you have discovered your realself.
Your words are true and I firmly stand by that bruh

Anyway thanks for all your advise in trying to shape our lives

Firstly, I'm a girl, not a bruh.lol
I understand your point of view and it is true. But if we don't discover our real selves, we would miss a lot of opportunities in life and it may bring regrets as well. I hope we all try to discover ourselves to unleash our hidden talents. Thank you for the read as well.

its really important to know who you really are.
thank you for sharing
