Most of us are so preoccupied with our physical pursuits our
marriages, our jobs, the kids' education, politics, the evening news, the
economy and so on that we don't think in terms of self development, much less
Self Discovery. If we don't understand how we are responsible for creating our
environment, we may not feel motivated to take responsibility for the quality
of our thinking. We may vaguely feel that the world is just "out
there," and we try our best just to survive. We may feel isolated,
unimportant, and separate, believing that we have no real or significant role
to play in the world. Sometimes it isn't until some sort of tragedy or illness
strikes that we are motivated to dig deeper into who we really are and what we
can accomplish.
Self discovery is actually going on all the time, whether you
realize it or not. With or without tragedy or illness, every minute of your
life is some sort of self discovery. That's because everything you think, say
and do every minute is reflecting your present concept of yourself. Your life
is a picture of who you think you are. How very important, then, to know who
you really are.
