Have you ever reached a point in your life, whether in your teens, twenties, forties or sixties, where you thought "who am i?" I'm sure we all have. And some of us ponder that question more than others. Some will look outward to gain insight on the subject, some will delve inward, and some won't take any action at all.
Some dedicate their whole lives to finding out who they are and why there are here, what PURPOSE do they have. Honestly, I do not know anyone who has participated in this quest who ever stood up and said "OMG, I FINALLY FOUND MYSELF". Why? Because it rarely happens.
It was recently proposed to me by a very wise North Carolinian, (not in these exact words of course) that the search for one's self, is the actual destination. Let me elaborate...The question "who am I", is the awakening, and the search for self, becomes our destination because in our search for self, we are becoming enlightened. In this quest, we are constantly learning, and learning is never-ending, and I think getting to know ourselves, and who we are, is a never ending process of discoveries.
I don't think one can truly ever "find" themselves. But they can evolve through the search!
It makes sense to me. I like the concept.
