What is your nature?

this discussion is a good one. We all need to know who we truly are, for if not we will be going round and round in circles, living a pointless life. The only thing to do that matters in our existence in this world is self-discovery, go within, know thyself and behold the magnificence of the being that you will discover. That magnificent being is YOU and when you know this being just BE.

I don't believe that those are the types of things that make us who we are. I believe that we are more than just our actions and social status symbols. That's mostly circumstance anyway. I don't believe that following orders makes a person good; sometimes there are some pretty "evil" orders. War is a poster-child for that. If you do your best and try to do what you feel is good in your heart, then you are good. You are not bad for wanting stuff for yourself. That is natural. You are supposed to want things for yourself. Just don't cling to those things too much, don't identify with them. Life is about love. The rest is really just smoke and mirrors.

This is a question we should ask ourselves long before we even step up to college. Realizing what we wanna be in life is important and college is the starting point of all our careers, how we will be successful; of course no one doesn't wanna be successful and die that way. It solely depends on the way how you'll be one. There are successful lawyers, doctors, musicians, teachers, psychologists, magicians, etc.. I've heard from somewhere that in order to be successful, you have to find out how your competitors are doing and always step it up higher than them, that's how you'll be the best.

i always go out of my way for other people. Sometimes i feel taken advantage of. I can't help but see people and want to help them. I think i am good but people think i have my own motives. Can't people just show their love for other people. I don't do it because i expect anything in return. I just want to help. I wish everyone was like this because then the world wouldn't be as bad as it is.

Self appraisal and self actualization are the two most important aspects of human life. You ought to know who you are, what are your strengths and weaknesses. Then through self actualization you can effectively move toward what you ought to be. It sounds easier said than done. But we have to master it.
