Discovering who you are is the main issue of life on earth.
You can find yourself in many ways and in many places and things. Actually, in every thing.
The best way is through doing what you love to do and taking this way as a trip to the depth of who you are.
You will change along the way, and maybe what you love doing more than anything else will change too. You have to always choose to do what you most love at the moment.
You will start finding yourself in small steps or maybe big. And every time you find yourself, you will feel satisfied. Finding yourself is the source of satisfaction. I want to say the only source, but I’m not sure yet. All this knowledge comes to me as a surprise, and at the same time as something that I have known before.
After the satisfaction periods you will start being curious again, and you will again use doing what you most love at that time to move on towards the depths of yourself.
All of the trip happens between you and eternity, which is you too.

I forgot who, but someone said, “To do is to be.” It’s so desperately important, like you say, to do what you love because this is the only path to the strongest, purest part of ourself. Here in Taiwan, where I teach the dream group class at the university, so many students have parents who are trying to prevent them from doing what they love and trying to get them instead to do what will make the parents look good to their friends, or what will earn a lot of money.
