The greatest manifestation in the universe is self discovery and living a life of purpose. This then begs the question, what is the meaning of life? So many times we’ve heard the phrase, ‘life is a journey’ but all the time I questioned of what exactly. Every person has a different experience, a different destination and itineraries to tick off. However, it’s a journey that we must learn to savour for it could end at any moment.

I have learnt a lot since I began this journey, I mean hasn’t everyone? I have a broad perspective on what the world is like, a deeper understanding of both good and evil that coexist within it. Having such knowledge has completely changed who I am, for one I get to make better choices regarding all things in my life. I am also able to understand others better, sometimes more than they do themselves but most importantly I got to understand Myself and my contribution to this life.

I do not know how to word most of the things I wish to say for I consider myself more of a philosopher than a writer but hopefully one day I might be knowledgeable to do so. I got to realize that you are the only one who gets to experience you fully and no one can ever truly claim that they know you because let’s be honest, most people don’t even know themselves as well as they should.Some of us spend way too much of our time and energy worrying what someone else thinks of us because that is what we define ourselves by. This is what makes people miserable, chasing something that can never fulfill you. You become absolutely hopeless with a hole within that can never be filled. For far too many years I lived the life that others chose for me;a captive of thoughts that were not my own.But I fought my way to freedom on the road of self-discovery,
and I’ll fiercely guard this liberty of soul.

Once you realize that within you there is a vast knowledge of the universe, and that once you have self consciousness you get access to it. You will loose touch with material world and everything outside of you will loose meaning, like time and even money. Don’t get me wrong these things are important for survival but they should never define you or your value as a person. You could lose everything and still feel like you have lost nothing because you don’t attach your self identity to things or at times even other people. The whole world could be in complete chaos but as long as you are completely aware of who you are within, nothing will bring you down. I am a separate entity outside of everything and everyone around me.

Every step you take everyday should be towards that goal of self discovery. The only way to reach your ideal self is to first learn who that really is. You may have all this information and still find it difficult to let go of your attachments and guilty pleasures but that is just the first step 🪜. Self discovery is a journey full of fire that will not burn you, only what you are not. The search for answers and freedom will take you places you never new existed in you.Life is a journey, self discovery is the true destination.
