Is life about finding ourselves or creating ourselves?

in #life7 years ago

Well, I think that our whole existence is based on creation. We live to create externally and internally. We don't have a buried self that we have to find or meet all of a sudden. Its not that we don't know who we are. However, we may dream of who we want to be and “work” towards that.

Invent yourself instead of finding yourself.

Create a better version of you. You can change the way you act or react, you can improve what does not satisfy you. Every single experience gives you the chance to sculpt yourself a bit more. Focus on your goal and lead your life instead of following it.

Be your own piece of art.

Get inspired by life and consider yourself as a work of art. The one that you wish to make better and better. The one that you want to make the closest to perfect. Turn yourself into the person you aspire to be.

Yes my friends, Our life has own kinds of aims . And to achieve it you must find who you are and whats your abilities and disabilities thanks for writing such good quotes @eliakon

Thank you very much for reading my post and for your kind words! :)

you are preparing for your speech tomorrow :P

Hahah tell me more and I'll stay home :P

is that a threat or a statement :P

A thought maybe :P Im not good at "speeches"

Ι believe that we have all the resources within us.
Wanna call it discovery , wanna call it creation ? It's just words.
It's the process that matters. The process or the journey of being better day in and day out.

You have a point there! The journey is what matters and the effort we make to improve what we are.. I just think that the "creating yourself" scenario allows you to have more control of tomorrow :)

If you believe it, then it must be true. :)

It's all about becoming always a better version of ourselves...
I believe this is why it's called personal development.
Each person has its own ways of understanding and expressing it. For example, I have never thought of it as a creation process, I guess because I am not an artistic or creative personality.
But reading it above it makes absolute sense and it actually has widened my point of view on it. Thank you for that!

Thank you for your kind words.. I believe that everyone is creative, what differs from one another is just the field he expresses himself through.. The sure thing is that we can all become better and work towards that, as you said :)

good post. I often wonder what are we here to learn. we create our life by making decisions. Smallest decision can make big difference and inspire us more.

Life is unpredictable.. We have to realise this, be adaptable and have fun with it :)

Hmm, I tried becoming better...but I did not like that arsehole, he took life too seriously.

Fun aside - I can see in others how your article needs to be sent to them, but, as with most people, it is more difficult doing something about myself. I think most of us tend to settle at our 'comfort' level.

As Robert says, we should never stop striving to achieve our potential - and as I tell him, what a curse it would be to achieve it while we are still alive.

Well stepping out of our comfort zone sometimes is the key to success... And I think we ought that to ourselves while being still alive :P
