· Motivation

Most probably the hardest thing that a person could achieve is finding out who he really is. It’s not some literal question but rather who are you going to follow and who are you going to become? A lot of people look up to others as their role models, their inspiration, and their mentors. It’s fine to have this these people around you. However, it’s also nice to build your own character rather than growing in the images of others. Try to remember how the famous people in history became who they were remembered. They never had to follow any people before them nor were they forced to become what they are not. Becoming and living your life as who you are is one great thing to look forward to.

Why Is It Important To Seek My True Self?

It’s more like searching for the next puzzle piece. It’s a part of building the big picture that lies ahead of your life. As early as now, take a good look at yourself and ask, “Who am I and what will I become?” and when you find the answer to that, the rest is just following the right path. Understanding your dreams and desires will help you establish a set of goals that will eventually lead to fulfilling that task of become that greater person that you want to be.

Act Your Character: Be Who You Want To Be

The world wouldn’t have been the same if the most influential people who ever existed never had the guts to act out on their own will and carve a name and a brand for themselves. Uplift your spirits not only by merely trying to think of who you are going to be but rather do it for the sake of your dreams and future. Nobody holds your own life but you. The life we live cannot be defined with anyone else nor can they withhold the person you are to be once you act it out. The hardest point in achieving this is the very beginning. The first step is always the hardest but the second and third is relatively easy. Always bear in mind, how you act is who you become. If you decide to act as a winner, you’ll definitely be a winner. If not today, maybe tomorrow, or the day after that. Although it’s yet uncertain but you will definitely get there once you learn to act your character.
