Have you found yourself.??? ....What does this exactly mean?

Hi aps! Good post! I understand that 'to find oneself' has some philosophical meaning. It would broadly mean to understand your own self and nature and to understand your sub-conscious mind. Our sub conscious mind is store house of all the information and experiences which we gather through out our life. We need to know where we are ultimately heading. Are we heading towards the God, who is the supreme power or we are just caught in this worldly affairs (moh maya). We need to understand that our spirits are entrapped in our bodies and we just have to find that. Our body is not even our own, it is a God's gift to us and our body structure keeps changing every year. When we would 'come to know' our inner-self, all worldly affairs/things will become inconsequential for us. I know it is easier said than done, yet we need to 'find ourselves'. One of the best way to find ourselves is 'meditation'. When we mediate we go inside us and gradually tune our mind to a situation called 'thoughtlessness' (when no thoughts are coming). You could try doing the meditation and see the results yourself. All the best.

You have found yourself once you have finally realized what it is you want to do and become in your life. What is your job? Do you enjoy it? Do you love doing it? Has it ever came into your mind that you desire other job or career? Are you fulfilling you passion and interests? Do you see yourself doing what you're doing now in a lifetime? Based on what you said, I think there was no need for you to find yourself since you said yourself that you were never lost. I am having that problem. I don't know what to do with my life. I don't know where I am going. I actually don't know what I am going to do next after college graduation or if I am ever going to graduate. I don't know where I should be and what's my place in the world. That's what means I am still finding myself until now.

If you are happy with yourself, have some fulfilling activity that gives you joy [ it can range from the simplest task to any lofty thing]and does not know the meaning of "boredom' in your life then it means you have found yourself.

It's good that you are content and was never really lost to begin with! Wish I could say the same. I was horribly lost growing up. I was diagnosed as being bipolar but really had no idea what that meant for me. I made a lot of bad choices and did some things I'm not proud of. Somewhere along the way, I figured out how to handle my condition and set my life on a better path. And I suppose that means I found myself. Tho at 29, I consider myself still a work in progress ;)

I guess, when there comes a point in your life that you are already contented and happy, it's that time when you can say that. Me, i finally found myself just after being married to my husband for 16 years.. My husband and i had a big problem and that's was the time when we talked over what we both want with our married life and was able to be finally "married" in the real sense of the word. I found out from my husband and child that they just like a simple life with some comforts. Thus, i went down to that and found out that indeed one can be happy even when life is simple. What is important is that the family is intact and comfortable.

To find oneself is to attain True happiness is found when yourspiritual needs are accomplished.It is not based on wealth or power.it is based on your moral and social responsibilities.

Hello aspara.. I think that the meaning of finding yourself is.. finding your own identity.. this is because how could you find your another self(duhhh) your identity is an important characteristics for yourself.. without it you are no one.. when you found it..anything will be possible as you know what you want..not because of other people..it is for yourself

To learn what our purpose is in life. To learn what our skills are. To learn our emotions and how we feel about life. To be lost and not found ourselves is that feeling we have no purpose in the world. Sounds like you did. Got married and had children. Now you're still working you have a purpose if you feel like you do(: I'm still in the lost process I'm married and have children but my career hasn't taken off because I have many skills but I don't know if they fit for a career that I can carry on :P Hope this helped(:
