Who am I? : The path to finding your true self

Emmanuel-Adeosun Blog Post: Who am I?

Have you gotten to the point in your life where you ask yourself this question “who am I?”

The truth is only a few discover their true self in this journey of life. This point of self realization is a process and not a static view of yourself because, our identity changes as we move through life.

You may be wondering why I said it’s a process and I’m sure a lot of us have had similar answers at different points. When I asked myself this question, a lot of answers came to mind. Answers like : I’m a great child, I’m an Engineer, I’m a great father, I’m the man who will change the world... but above all there’s one answer that has made me view life from a different perspective.

This answer is a universal one, one that reckons with the human race. It is one that made me look into my inner self, at this point I seized to define myself by the outward attributes I had.

Here is the answer:

We are spiritual beings at the core having human experience.

Take a minute to reflect on this answer, it will give you a deeper understanding of the connection between you (your soul) and the universe.

Think about it this way, we all have a purpose to fulfill here on earth. That is to say life is like a movie without end, and you are here to write your own verse and contribute to the unending drama of life.

“Note that your body is only a tool of expression.”

In the course of acting your powerful role, you will go through painful & joyful experiences. However, the meaning we attribute to these experiences are usually connected to our emotions such as: sadness, peace, anger, feeling inferior, hapiness, etc. These are the foods we feed our mind & soul with, which in turn constantly defines who we are.

With this you’ll discover that finding your true self, “who you truly are” is not defined merely by the physical experiences BUT by the meaning you give to those experiences which are fed to your mind & soul. The meaning you give to your life is what defines you! It will either give strength to your mind & soul or weaken it.

SO, WHAT WILL YOUR VERSE BE?
