Fuck Your Fantasy About “Finding” Yourself & Do This Instead
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” (George Bernard Shaw)
The vast majority of people are obsessed with the idea of “finding” their passion, purpose, values, so on and so forth.
This is because we have been brainwashed into thinking that these things are hiding somewhere, waiting to be discovered.
This is far from the reality.
Understand: Passion, purpose, values, character are things that must be developed, not discovered.
Life is about creating and forging the type of character you want.
Character is not something that we just randomly find. Instead, it is something that we must cultivate consciously through the process of trial and error.
Character is the foundation for all other things such as passions, purpose, values, so forth.
Cultivation is the path as opposed to discovering.
We cultivate the most powerful things within our lives as opposed to discovering them.
