In life, knowing our self is the most complex topic that we could encounter. This is somewhat like understanding our own being and to identify the changes we could make for us to become a better individual.
What is my purpose in life?
as we hustle and bustle in life, we sometime forgot how life supposed to be. Some are intended for spreading the word of God, some are dedicated to help the environment by planting trees, and there are individuals who share their act of service as their way of creating a purpose. How about you? did it ever comes in your mind the purpose you have in this world?
Personally, I did not think that much because ever since all I could ever think is to survive every milestone. But now, it is an eye-opener for me to create my own purpose in life. Having a purpose in life will give meaning to our existence. So as for me, I want to fulfill my inner purpose which is to grow independently and to do the best I could. I even wanted to make a difference as an individual, as someone who is imperfect in life that recovers from a various disappointments, frustrations and pain. So yeah! All I can say is It is easy when it’s easy and hard when it’s hard. That’s life.
What is something I find inspiring?
Inspiration—this is something like it motivates us to become better or to do better. So, what really inspires me? To be honest there’s a lot of things that I find inspiring like for example, someone who has a high emotional quotient. It amazes me to see a person with high level of EQ because they know how to control their own emotions even in the upsetting situation. I really wanted to become a person who knows how to handle criticisms and empathy towards others. And of course, there is always a room for improvement, so it is very important to recognize our own emotions to check on how it affects our thoughts and behavior.
As we know, Intellectual capacity or our intelligence quotient (IQ) is not enough on its own to achieve success in life. Well, yes, our IQ can help us finish our degree but it’s the EQ that will help us manage all the negative emotions. IQ and EQ should work as a team because that’s the most effective way in building a self-foundation.
What scares me the most?
In answering this question, we could think of a lot of things we are scared of, but to tell you, whatever it is, you don’t need to feel ashamed of yourself because that’s normal as a human being. We grew up to have something that makes us afraid.
What scares me the most? I fear of losing myself. I am not really an expressive person so it is not my genre to open up what I truly feel but every time I am into a situation, I always make sure to give the best I could and keeping myself to hold back whatever the circumstances. Nothing scares me that much because I’ve already been into a lot of struggles in life, I am already exposed to numerous problems at the early age…
What about after? After giving it all out? There comes disappointments and frustrations after trying your very best but it wasn’t good enough.
To be honest, I am not afraid for allowing myself to be too soft, I’m afraid of losing my edge because that’s the time I feel numb to everything. Things no longer interests me.
What is something that brings me joy?
While I spend time writing for my blog, I realized that there are a lot of memories I had in my 28 years of existence that makes me happy. I really don’t have any specific things to mention about what are the things that brings me joy because thinking about the positive side of life is already a thing that I am so grateful. It even makes me happy to spend time with people who make me feel loved and appreciated.
In general, we are dealing a lot of factors when it comes to understanding our self. This is also one of the reason why I appreciate this platform because we can express our thoughts and feelings through writing and the more we share, the more we understand our self and the others.
Moreover, we all wanted to be the best version of ourselves. So, it is not too late to make room for self-improvement, personal growth, and self-discovery because our story in life is timeless.
