Be Willing to Discover Who You
Really Are
It is not an easy task to understand the self. Learning is a never ending process— whether it be about science, art, and/or yourself. There are times when you may feel that you can go no further and that the world will not allow you to progress. Instead of submitting to outside restrictions, use the disappointment to find a new path. Continually experiencing new opportunities is what allows for fulfillment and discoveries.
Find True Meaning in Your Life
One of the best ways to learn about the self is through your work. There could be times when the need to satisfy basic necessities influences you to pursue a certain job, and prevents you from devoting much of your time to the work that you desire. However, we are not limited to having one work identity. Artists and writers such as Rousseau and F. Scott Fitzgerald used one profession to support them financially while continuing to do the craft that they loved.
