Self Discovery – Prompts for Self-discovery and Self-reflection

4.0

Self-discovery is a fundamental component of personal growth. We must take the time to discovery who we are as a person. This is accomplished through self-reflection. Self-reflection allows us to think about and examine our actions, preferences, feeling, values, beliefs, emotions, and tendencies. Since we are all different in the way we think, feel, act, learn, and perceive the world, it is beneficial to take the time to reflect in order to gain a better insight into ourselves. Self-discovery is a way for us to explore our individual personalities, natural preferences, values, beliefs, preferred styles and tendencies. The ultimate destination of this journey is finding out who we are and what makes use unique. There are negative consequences from not knowing yourself well. There comes a time when you’d start to wonder more about why you are here in this existence. And when you look deeper, you realise that you have not gotten much fulfilment from your work even though that’s the area that you’ve spent the most time in. You also see that you have NO clear idea of who you are, what you like and where to go from here. The lack of awareness can impact you not just emotionally or mentally but also spiritually. The process of self-discovery is one in which a person is guided, through self-questioning and examination of one’s own thoughts, words, and actions, in order to reach his or her own conclusions regarding who they truly are. Through the process a person gains a deeper understanding of his or her own self, character, values, and purpose in life. He or she also becomes more aware of his or her potential.
