Learn to discover your true self and watch everything start to fall in place for you effortlessly.

Finding yourself takes deliberate efforts. You don't just wander around then stumble on it. You have to want to find yourself. The act/process of WANTING to find yourself is important because if you don't and then go ahead to stumble on it while wondering around, it won't be of any use to you because you have no idea you need it. 

This can be likened to a tourist without a guide or navigational device. The possibility of going round in circles in search of a particular place is very high. 

It's a simple rule of life; when you don't know, you don't know! 

The amazing thing however is that the moment you stop to find out and ask the right questions, you begin your journey to the land of self discovery. 

The idea I had starting out on Steemit varies from what i'm turning out to be gradually. 

I am by no means an expert but here are my thoughts.

How to begin journey to self discovery. 

Definitely not an exhaustive list but should be enough fuel to get your engines running and push you to want to discover yourself.

Be ready to ask. 

On your own you have been going in circles. Now you have noticed this and you want it to change. It's true no one person knows it all but there are people around you that know just enough to move you to the next level. Seek out these people and ask them, with all the genuineness you can muster. Questions like "what do you think of me?", "In what ways do I annoy you?", and much deeper ones can help you begin to discover your true self.

Be ready to listen. 

When you ask people genuinely, they will answer you. So with this in mind, it is only normal that you prepare yourself to listen to everyone. Listening here does not mean following whatever they say. It just means allowing them express themselves while you take note of everything. You should try not to discard anything at this point. Not every response will be positive. Remember you're trying to get to know yourself and you'll need to understand how other people view you.

Be open to opinions. 

This can be tricky as you will tend to receive loads of them. Positive and negative. The funny thing is that you'll find many of them will be contradictory. This means some people could tell you to go left because that's the best route while some others will tell you that going right is definitely the better option. Even those you respect the most and hold in very high esteem can go wrong sometimes so it's a very tricky one to handle. 

CONCLUSION

It is important to note that even when you know the right route to take, a smooth journey is still not guaranteed! There could be delays such as traffic or a flat tire or maybe overheating in the engine compartment. 

This things happen in life. The difference this time is that you know where you're going, you have a very vivid dream in mind, and nothing can stop you.
