Personal Discovery: Conclusion

Life is a journey, sometimes full of obstacles, sometimes a beautiful scenic route, sometimes getting lost, and sometimes stumbling upon something amazing. Throughout this journey, our only constant companion is our own self. Yet, we often take this person for granted, so focused on other things and other people. It is my fondest hope that you do get to know this companion and to become friends. The best friends are those that you can always converse with, are there through good times and bad, the ones that share memories with you and get excited about sharing new memories with, the ones that you know so well and yet are constantly surprised by. Hopefully, you will become best friends with yourself, to make new memories, and want to learn more about. Rather than anyone else, be who you are and accept the amazing person that you are.

Personal discovery is a lifelong process, not to be rushed, and repeated throughout a lifetime. Change is always happening within and around you, so accept it and roll with it and learn about yourself all over again. Don’t give up. It’s really quite worthwhile and hopefully it will lead to a more peaceful and happy life, or at least, a less-confusing one.

The most important thing to remember is your life is your own. It is unique only to you. You make the rules and call the shots and guide yourself down the road that is uniquely your own, taking your own responsibilities and consequences. Enjoy your adventure!

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
