The meaning of finding yourself and the first step to getting to know yourself better.

Episode 26:

A simple way?  Yes!  Sometimes it can seem like a really big journey with a final destination but finding is yourself involves getting to know yourself.  The steps are easy but what's hard is continuing the journey to better understand ourselves.

I define finding yourself as consciously knowing what your desires and beliefs are.  And from there, then deciding to change them or not.  But often are "true" desires and beliefs and buried in what I call as an unknown bed.  It's the foundation from which we operate our daily lives.

But for most of us, and this was me, I was so unaware of what I truly wanted in life and what beliefs I was holding onto and determining how I behaved in my life.

I talk through a simple exercise that are the first steps in getting to know yourself better and share with you parts of my personal journey.  

Questions mentioned in the episode:

  • Why does it matter to you?
