Who Am I? 50 questions for self-discovery + personal growth

Life’s challenges- Self-discovery and personal growth?

What brought you here? Did you feel confused or unsure about who you are, what you want exactly and how to start your self discovery journey for dear life? Did you stay in situations that made you question your existence? Which situations challenged to question,

Who am I really?

If you stayed in scenarios where you just swung with people and forgot what you want and what you feel, no worries, we all have been there. I asked this question to myself when I saw people choosing something and being firm in their decisions. They stood by it and didn’t change it because of something or someone.

I wondered,

What do I really want?

What do I like?

What I strongly believe in?

What are my values? Do I take stand for it?

And the self-discovery started.

It was the beginning of my so-called personal growth.

Just like me and many other people, self discovery and coming to “your” answers to world’s questions can be a zig-zag path. You can change or remodel your life based on where you are at the moment. If it’s a role of a wife or husband, or a role of a colleague, we choose to a specific version that only we know.

But, are we that person?

Then who are we? What will stay with you if nothing existed?

Let’s find out.

In this self discovery and self finding journey, I’ll help you with 50 self discovery questions that will urge you, challenge you to see who you truly are.

Conclusion

I must say these can be tricky than imagined. You can have many conflicting thoughts but it’s okay. It’s all about coming home to yourself, being in true alignment with yourself and insanely growing in it.

You really need to be clear about who you are a person, as a human being first. What is innately true about you that you can’t separate from your existence?

If you don’t understand yourself or start your self-discovery journey, it will be difficult to have favorable situations, true choices and important decisions in life. Life will not be as meaningful, as fulfilling as you dream. You will be chasing wrong things, attracting wrong people or situations that will only leave you to discover yourself. This is the only option. There is no other way out.

As self-discovery is the beginning and a continuous process, make sure to keep revisiting who are you and analyze yourself daily. There are many more questions you can ask yourself and not get limited by just 50 questions. You can have maybe 100 or 500 questions. It all depends on you, how eager and strong willed you are to change your life.

Get closer to yourself, what you were born to do, feel and create. Come in alignment with your core self.

Come home.
