Conocernos es un propósito | Getting to know each other is a purpose

Yesterday I was reading Emilio's post and I was thinking how right he is. So I wrote down in my notebook, so that the idea wouldn't escape me, "knowing ourselves leads us to our life purpose".

Knowing ourselves or finding ourselves again leads us to it.

For me it was a process of finding myself again. Because I had the great idea of ​​giving up my dreams. Until everything collapsed and I discovered that I had nothing.

Knowing ourselves goes beyond what we believe, and is even more important than we usually think. Today I feel that it is one of the biggest problems of humanity that is being reflected in identity.

Many lost people, many undecided, and many others who, like me, gave up their dreams to "do something that would give them a living."

Which is completely understandable. Especially in countries like Venezuela.

The problem is when what you choose to live for doesn't make you happy, you lose it, and you're left empty. The reality is that you don't want to go back to doing the same thing again.

You look for what you really want to do in life. But, if you don't know, you must first find yourself.

I knew who I was, I knew what I wanted. I just didn't know how to transform that into something that would make me money, so I could live off it, and feel satisfied with what I love to do.

See what you like, what you're passionate about, your goals, dreams, aspirations, who you are, your values, your "non" negotiables...

I knew it, but somehow I locked away part of that information so that it wouldn't surface. Otherwise, it would hurt me to think that I can't do what I want so much in life. Then, I realized how stupid I was, because everything is possible if we work for it, and if we think of a way to achieve it.

I also think that's where happiness comes from, that self-confidence. Because everything is a set of important things. They go hand in hand with each other.

Sometimes we think that if we don't have something, we can continue. But that's not the case. Human beings are a puzzle that we put together piece by piece, little by little.

One part, then another, and so on, until we feel complete. Although some of these things should be discovered as we grow, the reality is that some don't have the good fortune to be able to obtain them due to the education they received, shortcomings...

Or others like me, who simply made some small disasters along the way, like abandoning their dreams, believing that you can be happy doing something that I consider the most boring thing in the world, and trying to think about pleasing others. Even though that doesn't make me happy.

Then you realize that you can be the disaster you want to be, because that makes you happy. And people won't do the same to you. No one will hold you accountable for their actions, no one will ask you what they will do with their life, no one will ask your permission.

So why should you do it? Does that make you happy?

I highly doubt that anyone would be happy to be what someone else wants you to be. It's like putting on that shirt that you know very well doesn't fit you, but you put it on by force.

You're not going to fit in! The size is too small, from years ago. And by the way, it's not yours either.

You must find your own clothes, and wear them.

Get to know yourself, find yourself, work for yourself, and be happy. That's my message for you tonight.
