As Shakespeare said, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” But what if you’re not clear about who you really are? What if you don’t know what you want to do with your life?

Knowing who you are is a necessary starting point for finding a purpose that aligns with your true self.

"What matters, therefore, is not the meaning of life in general but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment." ~Viktor Frankl

There’s an old saying from Shakespeare: “To Thine Own Self Be True.” But what if you’re not clear about who you really are or what you want to do with your life?

Knowing who you are is a necessary starting point for finding a purpose that aligns with your true self.

I wake up every morning determined to change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes that makes planning my day difficult. E.E. Cummings Quote

There’s an old saying from Shakespeare, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” But what if you’re not clear about who you really are or what you want to do with your life? How do you really get to know yourself? This series of posts will teach you about some great tools for discovering more about who you are.

When you lack clarity about your true self and your purpose, life can take you in all kinds of crazy directions. It’s like racing down a mighty river in a little black inner tube, hoping you don’t crash into the giant rocks. Sure, sometimes it’s a great adventure, but you may also feel helpless and out of control.
