The inner journey is nothing but personal exploration. — Another term is introspection. You are in a race to constantly excel in life. So, you run rapidly, not giving yourself a break. So, you don’t know what you know and what you are capable of. For that reason, you settle for less than what you deserve. Let’s get started and find out more.
When You Feel Like Going on Inner Journey
Everything has a shelf life. In the same way, even your race has one. So, at some point, you want to come out of it. However, when you do, you don’t know what else to do. Because you don’t know who you are and what your capabilities are, also what you love.
So, you are stuck even before the journey starts to the freedom in the path of your passion. It is because you have many such that you can’t pick one to make it your life. However, it happens with everyone, and it happened with me as well. And I finally found one and a way to bring it to life.
You may say, “the philosophy and everything is good, but how to understand me, how to introspect?” Let’s get to it.
How to Introspect Yourself?
I won’t go in the spiritual aspect because that’s not my path, and I know nothing about spirituality in depth.
You have to fall into a relationship with yourself. What will you do if you fall in love with someone?
- That person will always be on top of your priority.
- You try to understand better.
- Want to know everything about the other person, including the childhood.
- Also, the feelings
- Always want to give what the other person wants, likes, everything.
- You pay attention to even minute details about the other person.
You love someone and do everything in your capability to make their life comfortable.
But none taught you how to be in a relationship with yourself. Because others think self-love is being selfish. And you think they are correct and always put others over you. Result? You never paid attention to knowing yourself and your core.
You have to do the same with yourself. Forget about what is going to happen in the future if you do this.
“No player ever won the game by playing with the eyes on the scoreboard.”
Fall in love with yourself unconditionally. If you treat yourself like a lover, then you understand what is better for you and what you need to grow in life.
Don’t Commit This Mistake!
You do all of this to understand which path is best for you. It is nothing but to find your passion. People say if you can’t add value to the world by doing what you love, it’s a hobby. It’s a lie, don’t buy it. You can find a clear answer on reading IKIGAI. For example, you might love singing, but you need not be a famous singer to say it is your passion. If you can’t make a living out of it, it means you have something else in the core. But you’ll be able to tap into that core only when you get your hands dirty in the top layer of your passions.
Final Thoughts
The simplest way to know yourself is to fall in love with yourself unconditionally. You can find everything about you when you treat yourself the way you treat your lover. If you need any help finding your passion or guidance regarding introspection, you can fill this form.
