Who I Am

Every decision you make -
Every decision -
Is not a decision about what to do.
It's a decision about who you are.
When you see this, when you understand it, everything changes.
You begin to see life in a new way.
All events, occurrences, and situations turn into opportunities to do what you came here to do.

- Neale Donald Walsch

Who am I? What is my purpose? [2019 update]

We are commonly identified by the role we live out: student, mother, son, friend, profession. We find our life, worth, and purpose in these roles. However, this is not how we were meant to live. You should dissociated with these labels. This identity is temporary and not who you fundamentally are. Your identity is defined by who you perceive yourself as your core. Start by asking what are 3 words that describe who you are and asking yourself what are the traits that have remained the same over your life. Your family and friends may contribute their opinion, but in the end you decide.

Identity is critical for maintaining a solid sense of self. It’s the glue that holds us together, even in the most discombobulating of circumstances.

So who am I?

I am inquisitive (curious, open minded, observant, analytical), ambitious (achievement orientated, accomplished). I aim to further cultivate my identity around positivity, confidence and dominance

After these traits, I am also healthy, intelligent, indifferent, introspective, and just. My sister describes me as ambitious, loyal, reflective (mysterious, creative and exploratory).

My purpose is connected with my vision board and my goals for the future.

In 2009, I saw myself as happy, self assured, positive, confident, ambitious and just. I projected this for myself, but while I see myself as ambitious and just I don't believe I was self assured and positive at the time. (re: Big Picture). My purpose was to enjoy my life and make a difference (re: Goals). It has now changed a little.

What is your true purpose in life? Is it for fulfilment, enjoyment, pleasure, worship, meaning, giving? It could be a mix of these. What is important is realising what it is and following it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I only do what I would do. I make my decisions based on what makes me happy and what makes me feel good. I have amazing goals, a great life, nothing anyone does or says is going to affect me at all. I don't need anybody or anything, I can be complete on my own.

The key to becoming amazing is to remember who you are. Believe in yourself. Be confident and control your reality.

A real Man (or Woman) is a guy living his purpose, his passion, doing what he knows to be right and following his path. He doesn't care what other people make of his journey as it's his journey. He's living his life on his journey and you can either be part of that or not.
