Finding Arianna: A Journey of figuring out what my goal is in life

"Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow, grow""  - The Talmud

I think I have had many whispers in my ear over my lifetime, I usually refer to them as weird coincidences.

I think every individual's life journey should be about finding your passion and being strong enough to go after it.

The message out there in the media is constantly telling individuals to "Find Themselves." It makes us seem that we do not possess these qualities and we have to go find out who we are.  I think we already are ourselves and know what our interests, strengths, and weaknesses are.   In a lot of cases, you don't need to go elsewhere to help figure out what you are passionate about.  I think these can be determined by looking back at your life and doing a little soul searching.

While I agree that the first step is to figure out who we are as individuals, I think the next step is staying true to yourself and finding inner strength, environments, and other individuals to help support you in the journey called life.

I can relate as in the last couple years I not only found myself but with the help of others have been brave enough to develop my sense of self-worth and stayed true to who I am.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." - George Bernard Shaw
