Most times we always believe we're living our best life, but truth be told that's not true, we only think that way because that moment we are comfortable, so that makes us feel we're living as we should be but that not true, what do I mean by that? How do I relate that with me?
It happens to be I was comfortable with everything, I am the last child of my parent, I've three brothers older brothers.
I was really comfortable with everything, my parents provides me with everything I needed, all what I needed it's provided, you know being the last born of the house, they tend to satisfy you with everything you need, as a kid I have all the best toy, I get new toys every week by my parents or my brothers, I could recall how much toys I had that I started giving out the old ones to friends because I know It will be replaced with new ones. I could recall while I was in college I get taking to school every morning, having things done with the help of my brothers, so I get relaxed every time because I felt I had everything all.
All this got into my head so bad that I feel it's not necessary to give my best in everything I do, I feel all I needed was just to be good In my academics, then few years later, a good friend of mine talked to me about a radio personality which he loves listening to almost every day, and I was so eager to know who he was talking about because I know how much he hates listening to radio programs.
I decided to tune in to the program one day The late night show which is anchor by Daniel Apata, at first it was more like a relationship talks, people calling to pour out their minds on personal issues, relationship issues, I was discouraged by that because I felt all those are not necessarily but the next day I tuned in to listen to the program, it was on one Friday night, someone called in that evening pouring out his personal issues, he talks more on how he find it so hard to make decisions by himself, and how he feels lost on what to do, then he asked him if he had discovered himself yet, that moment I started asking myself a lots of questions I don't know the answer. I decide to work on myself, at first I thought self discovery was something big like that rather it's just a process of examining myself, what's missing and taking actions towards fulfilment.
Steps that helps me
I envisioned my ideal self
My life as been so smooth with the help and the guardians of my parent which that have not given me clear thought of my true self, me not visualising on my ideal self will not give me a clear things that matters to me and or the person I want to become.
I keep on by discovering the values I possess
Going through this process makes me to discover alot about myself, and some values I possess. Values like, compassion, toughness, determination, courage, self reliance.
Learning new things
I started getting involved with different kind of people, people with the different way of life and learning new skills. There is nothing more fulfilling than a sense of achievement.Learning new things may be challenging sometimes, but it can really be enjoyable pushing me out of my comfort zone. This has helped me alot in becoming who I want to be.
