We, humans, are crazy about exploring new adventures in life. travelers find their solace of adventure at their dream destination and non-travelers keep finding their ways to bask in the adventures in day-to-day life.
However, later or sooner by the time, we realized that the biggest adventure of our valuable life is to find our inner selves. It may sound a bit of being selfish; in reality, it is all about our own perspective of living life contentedly along with utmost happiness.
Here I have jotted down the 11 most influential yet practical quotes that personally keep reminding me to trail over the path that takes me to meet my true self.
1). If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else. Rumi
The starting point of the journey of Finding oneself starts with the peace of mind; whose origin resides in ourselves. Sadly most people make themselves fool by trussing their peace to materialistic things, which results in a never-ending episode of failed attempts.
2). The moment you know yourself, you have known the most precious thing in existence. Osho
The Universe conspires for you in fixing the rest of the things in life once you get success in finding the treasure of your real self.
3). To find yourself, think for yourself. Socrates
Put the horde of slanders at the back seat before boarding on the journey of self-discovery.
4). Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. Aristotle
5). People often say that this or that person has not found himself. but the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates. Thomas Szasz
6). Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. mastering others is strength, mastering yourself is true power. Lao Tzu
7). If you are being ignored, that’s a good time to concentrate on finding yourself and creating your own mystery. Lykke Li
We humans have the power to oust the worst feeling by a worthy gesture of hard-working even in the most vulnerable power. Use it!
8). You will never find yourself until you face the truth. Pearl Bailey
The foundation of any change, any deed any kick start is based on the truth. Be it for the outer world or for the inner world. Dare to confront the truth.
9). Don’t worry about finding your soulmate; Find Yourself. Jason Evert
10). Step into the fire of “Self Discovery”. This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not. Mooji
Self Discovery aligns all the mental and physical chords in the harmony. In addition to that, it clears the fog of endless pseudo thoughts that we possess regarding both ourselves and others.
11). The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
A slight change in perspective changes the whole picture. When you start glancing at the problem from a different outlook it opens the door for more solutions. And that is the magic of finding your true self.
Among 11 enlisted quotes above, if someone asks me which quote I relate to the most? My answer would be the quote no. 5 by a Hungarian -American Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz who said “People often say that this or that person has not found himself. but the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”
Would you like to share with me which quote inspired you the most in the journey of finding yourself?
