Many people do not know who they are. That, in turn, is where the problems arise. But, identifying oneself within oneself is a challenge. How do you really identify who you are? If you recognize who you are, you can be yourself, not someone else. Then, making your life successful will no longer be a difficult task.
If you think about it, you will realize that many things that happen and happen in your life depend on how you relate to your inner self. So, how do you properly understand what is going on in your life if you do not properly identify who you are within?
It is normal to be tempted to identify different identities within ourselves as we gradually reach adolescence. At different times in life, the shape of our lives changes in different ways. We are tempted to create different characters within ourselves. Sometimes, you can also see attempts to imitate other characters. At these early stages of our lives, we have no idea who we really are or who we are. Therefore, through the identities drawn from the characters around us, an attempt is made to create an identity within ourselves. This is because of the lack of experience in life. Later, as we age, we hope to have an identity of our own.
Expectations in life play a big role in building the identity you have. These expectations guide many of the choices we make in life. We also try to have the expectations and goals of other characters that we like.
However, imitating others or living up to expectations is not a bad thing at all. But, because of such things, it can be difficult for you to identify yourself and be yourself. External factors and influences can make your life complicated and busy. In that case, identifying your identity is no longer a difficult task.
Therefore, it is challenging to identify our true identity and relate it to our lives. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. Therefore, it is important to identify our identities, free from external influences. So, we can use the following tactics to identify who we are and keep in touch with our identity.
Be honest with yourself.
The best way to live in peace without conflicting with our identity is to be honest with ourselves. If our life and conscience do not go together, problems in life cannot be prevented. If our life does not conform to our true principles, the thought of being dishonest will naturally arise. Conscientious obedience is the best way to live with a light heart. By acting in accordance with our conscience and following our own principles, it is easier to recognize our identity.
Identify your abilities and value.
Properly identifying your ability, capacity, and value will help you identify your true identity. Unless you recognize your true value and potential, you can never be who you are. When that happens, the connection with your identity in your life breaks down. As always, by recognizing your abilities and values and trying to live with them, it will be easier to build your identity.
Identify happiness and sadness.
It is normal human nature to work towards happiness and to get rid of the things that bring sorrow. Therefore, we also plan our actions and goals toward happiness. We must also avoid things that are inconsistent with our true abilities, principles, and values, as they can cause grief. Therefore, by properly identifying and living life's sorrows and joys, it will be easier to identify your identity.
Be careful about your choices and desires.
You think you have good control over your choices and desires, but not in real life. If your choices and desires are in line with your principles, abilities, and values, they will work in harmony with your identity. Every desire and choice is made according to the sensations received by our five senses and the way we think about them. Of course, it is important to keep in mind that all of this is under your control.
Be careful how you respond.
Depending on how we react to events, events, and experiences in our lives, the attitudes and reactions of those around us depend on us. What often happens is that you respond to external stimuli without thinking further. There, we do not think about how accurate that response is and how it fits into our policies and values. If you act as if you are responding to someone or some external stimulus at the push of a button on your body, you need to keep in mind that your life is controlled not by your identity but by the external person or stimulus. Therefore, if you want to be your true identity, it is essential to choose your responses carefully.
Have positive thoughts about yourself.
If you think you are an unworthy person or underestimate your work and abilities, building your identity can be a difficult task. No one is a worthless person. So, think positively about yourself. Make it a habit to develop positive thoughts. It is a good tactic to praise oneself, not others, for the good that happens to the society, the country, and the world around you through the work you do. When your thoughts and goals are well thought out and approved by yourself, it is not difficult for you to be yourself, as your identity does not change based on external factors.
We all have identities and any person has the ability to give something valuable to society. When you understand it, you can easily identify your identity and connect your life with your identity. As always, external influences blur your identity and the connection between you, making it difficult for you to be yourself. But, if you follow the above six points, you are in for a treat.
