Become Who You Are by Learning Who You Are
And life will be nothing short of a fucking adventure — lessons on finding your purpose from the lives of history’s great masters
Each of us is born with innate curiosity. As kids we yearn to know how the world works, so we eat some grass to see how it tastes and create intricate worlds with nothing more than sheer imagination.
Before we started caring what others think, we put our thoughts on the page, our recipe in the oven, our sense of self on the line. A child’s spirit knows no bounds.
But as we get older, we feel rejected if our innate talents and interests don’t garner popularity, which is the worst thing for a kid to feel.
We question who we truly are.
At a certain point, maybe it's high school or college or beyond, we have to decide if we’d rather fit in or become the unique individual that our world desperately needs.
Who are you?
A seed striving to blossom. A river seeking the ocean. An individual note, looking for its song. We aren’t born knowing who we are, like an IKEA dresser with simple instructions for assembly.
We learn.
