The Journey Of Self Discovery

7 Tips To Start Your Journey

The Journey Of Self Discovery

Have you ever at least once in your life asked yourself these following questions:

1.) What I am missing out on my life?

2.) What is my purpose?

3.) Have I pushed myself to my limits?

If you have asked yourself these questions, well I'm here to say that you are not alone and I'm pretty sure many others have done as well. Each person is an author of their own life and like any book there is a beginning and end. We may not be able to control those certain aspects of life along with others, but what we CAN WRITE IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE. WE CAN CREATE OUR OWN PATHS FILLED WITH PLOTS, TWISTS, AND PEOPLE WE MET ALONG THE WAY.

Everyone has had their ups and downs in life, but if you sincerely ask yourself these questions, you realizethere is something much more valuable to life. Finding your sense of purpose in life takes time and a self-discovery. If you are willing to start the journey, WHY NOT START NOW??!!

Here are a couple of tips I have for people who want to travel and go on a spiritual journey. Now if you are struggling economically and have to stay within your local area or state don't worry I got some tips for you too, I understand that lol.

1.) GET YOURSELF A CAMERA OR NOTEBOOK!

Before any starting any adventure, it is always important to have a camera or notebook to document or write anything at your pleasure. Having a notebook allows you to write your most inner thoughts and self-reflect throughout your day. If you enjoy sight seeing and enjoying the moments, then purchase a camera where you can capture life all in the moment. Once you have finished your journey or time have passed, you will see how much you have changed over the period of time.

2.) START READING BOOKS


Often people get inspired by the little things in life by reading a book, movie, or something they have seen in their lives. Reading a book can help inspire you to find that passion in your life because books are filled with various amount of knowledge.This is why I would recommend going to the library or reading on your kindle on a couple of books that you have interest in and hopefully creativity will spark.


3.) VISIT LOCAL HISTORY AND ART MUSEUMS


Creativity and interpretation is displayed often in art and history museums. Visiting museums that peak your interest will allow you to understand what was life was like before and now. It allows you to see how time has changed and how everything is constantly evolving around you.People, technology, methods, and trends are always on the go and one day who knows you can be put in a museum for a great deed of yours someday!

4.) VISIT ANY BODY OF WATER OR NATURE LANDSCAPE! (OCEAN, LAKES, PONDS ETC.)

Ever had a rough day after work or just simply want to get of your house and take your mind off things? Well if you go to any body of water near you, it is always great to carry a notebook or camera and just reflect. Self-reflection is important to do throughout your day because it allows you to unravel all those thoughts you have locked up in your brain. What I recommend is that when you are sitting by a body of water just write 2-3 pages nonstop of whatever you want to photograph on anything you want, it could even be the smallest things. After doing that, I would take a break and just look at the ocean and maybe close your eyes or listen to music for a couple of minutes. Afterwards you can then read or check what you took pictures and just sink deep into your thoughts.

5.) CONQUER YOUR FEARS

Take a trip down memory lane in your life and focus on fears that you have. It can be a fear of roller coasters, heights, sky diving etc. Whatever the fear may be, try little by little to conquer your fear with someone by your side. It is always a great feeling to have someone by your side when feeling scared and they are true friends because they motivate you to go beyond your limits.


6.) TRAVEL THE WORLD

Ever wanted to travel or walk into places of the unknown? Ever thought was is on the other side of the Earth? If you are financially stable and want to go with a group of people or by yourself I recommend buying a plane ticket to a 3rd world country or your top 3 places because you should travel to a place that you have interest for and have gratitude for what you have today in your country, that unfortunately some countries may not have.

7.) JOIN HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS

If you want to impact the world and help for a great cause while traveling the world, I recommend going looking online for health organizations that are looking for volunteers and NEED YOUR HELP! Your kindness and generoisty can bring happiness to another person's life and will alow you to find who you are as a person in the inside.

Lastly, I wish you all good luck on this journey and if you do it by yourself or with a group of people it is your decision. Each person embarks on a different path in their trail and it doesn't what is the final stop, BUT HOW WE GET THERE! Best wishes, hope this helps! :)

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
