Dear friends, today I want to share with you interesting and useful information about how to find yourself, your purpose, your purpose in life, your life’s work, how to realize yourself and your talents.
How to find yourself
To find yourself, you need to understand yourself, get to know yourself at a deep level.
If you look at yourself with a superficial glance, you will see in yourself only the programs of society (you dress as is customary in society, your behavior is based on educational programs and generally accepted rules of people, your words are based on the model of your environment, etc.). And even thoughts do not belong to a person. Thoughts are shaped by society, the media, acquaintances and relatives. The entire external form of a person is imposed programs from the outside. To find yourself, you need to immerse yourself in your inner world, feel your soul. Relax and immerse yourself in your inner world. What do you have there, what feelings, what desires? How do you feel about your soul?
An important point is that if you try to feel yourself in ordinary consciousness, then you will only see a set of programs embedded in yourself that you perceive as your own . But if you dive into your deepest feelings, completely different desires and feelings may appear there.
One of the most effective ways to enter your deep state is to do it through an altered state of consciousness. Or just relax as much as possible and enter a light alpha state. The easiest way to find yourself is this way.
In this state, remember your childhood. What desires did you have as a child? Most often, it is at this age that a person’s purpose in life and his talents manifest themselves. Capture children's feelings and dreams, remember them. Of course, remember the feelings and desires that you will have in an altered state of consciousness. These feelings are the real you. We can say that you found yourself in real feelings. Now let's move on.
Is it absolutely necessary to actively act in order to achieve self-realization?
What does effort at self-realization mean? This is a kind of “life project” that requires consistency and perseverance. “I am defined by my project,” wrote Jean-Paul Sartre. To realize yourself, you need to want to achieve some goal in any area: in professional or leisure activities (for example, hobbies), in sports or artistic pursuits, in social life, in volunteering, in family life, in love. relationships. There are a lot of ways for personal realization! Some people strive to achieve something exceptional, extraordinary, majestic. They need great goals, a noble mission that they want to fulfill. They need noisy, brilliant success, fame, glory. Others, on the contrary, collect their harvest in the field of everyday life and feel very good. And it’s wonderful that this is so. They have one thing in common – action. Action is necessary for self-realization. As the writer Andre Malraux said, “we are the sum of our actions.” A life consisting only of a continuous series of moments of contemplation (“let everything go as it goes”) would be incomplete.
How to find your life's work
The next step is to find your life’s work, your purpose, your purpose in life.
I’ll say right away that the purpose, the work of life, can change from time to time, or it can be constant. Perhaps now a person’s job is to consciously benefit the enterprise, in a year his life’s work will be to open his own business, and in 10 years, his purpose will be to serve people, and the business will need to be closed. Sometimes a person's purpose lies in one area throughout his life. How to find your life's work at the moment? Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's not. Perhaps a person, immersed in his real or childhood feelings, will immediately understand his purpose and find his business.
But it may also be that feelings will only show the general direction in which to move. For example, creativity. But painting, being a hairdresser or the art of owning a business is also all creativity. Even when washing dishes, you can use creativity.
Here, based on feelings, you need to start new directions in life, and try different options based on the feelings of the soul. We got busy with one thing, didn’t like something, confusion appeared in our feelings, and abandoned it. We started another business, our feelings became confused, and we gave up. After doing this several times, your intuition will increase significantly, and you will begin to feel the work of life. Through a series of mistakes and failures you will reach your destiny.
Of course, this method is not for everyone. Quitting what you are doing now in an attempt to start your own business, and there are no guarantees, is certainly not suitable for weak people. To make it easier to walk this path and find your business from the first attempts, we move on to the next step.
How to understand your talents
To find your purpose, your life's work, you need to understand your talents.
People often think that not everyone has talents, but this is not true.
Absolutely every person has his own talents, endowed by God, and the task of a person is to find and reveal them.
| 1 | Think about what you like to do most? |
| 2 | What topic do you like to search for information on the Internet? |
| 3 | What are you willing to do even if you don't get paid? |
Exactly what you are drawn to, what you like, and in what area you seek information for a feeling of satisfaction, is where your talents are hidden and need to be revealed.
Everything ingenious is simple. Your deepest desires show you your talents. Finding yourself, your purpose in life is finding your talents. Now that you understand how to look for talent, you can find your own business and move on to realizing yourself.
Self-realization of a person in creativity
Creative fulfillment has been an important component of progress throughout time. It was creativity and a non-standard approach to solutions that led humanity to the level of development that we have now. Without this, we would not be able to move on and come up with something new.
Creative individuals achieve greater heights and receive recognition from others than those who think in a standard way. Creativity helps to expand consciousness, look at the world differently and take a creative approach to solving a variety of problems.
It doesn't matter what kind of creativity you choose for yourself. It could be dancing, pottery, fashion design, architecture or anything else. And it is not so important to be the first in this. It is more important to be recognized and approved.
How to realize yourself
If you want to receive recognition and money through your talents, you need to understand how you can benefit people through your purpose and life’s work .
This is the key point. If your talents do not benefit people, you will not receive recognition and money as a symbol of realizing your destiny. Now I do not take into account receiving recognition and money as a manifestation of pride and superiority over other people, but as manifestations of my destiny and a gift from the Universe as a sign of the right path. For example, I love making products in the style of root plastics, but it doesn’t bring in money, and I do it only for the soul. I really like to share my work and experience in the field of self-development. I do this on this blog, The Space of Inner Strength. Here I receive the money that I earned as gratitude from site visitors. This is exactly the type of activity that helps me not only get my life’s work, but also income as a measure of people’s gratitude for my work and the benefits I bring to people.
In the material world you need to look for opportunities to earn money, otherwise you will have to go into the forest and be a hermit. Of course, earnings should be based on a person's talents. Those who feel that they need to completely free themselves from the influence of money in this incarnation become hermits or go to a monastery.
To realize yourself, you need to take several steps.
Algorithm: how to realize yourself and how to find your purpose in life, your life’s work.
- Find your favorite thing and understand how through it you will benefit people. How will you help people solve their problems? There is no benefit to people, no money, no recognition, no business of your own that would feed you and bring you joy and satisfaction.
- The second step is to find the people who do this job best.
- Learn from these people. You need to learn only from the best and then the results will be the best, and not like everyone else.
- Start doing this business and hone your skills. The goal is to become the best in your field.
- Move to a professional level in your business and realize yourself in it 100%. Here you can go in 2 ways. 1 – do what you love yourself, 2 – teach it to other people.
This algorithm will allow you to find yourself, find your purpose in life, reveal your talents and become a happy person who will always have money and recognition.
Think about what you can do with your soul, and what benefit you can bring to people. This will be the first step towards realizing your talent. Find and read books on how to become an expert in your field.
At the 4th step, when you begin to do your job and hone your skills, a routine begins. Every day you need to learn and improve your level. Most people “merge” at this step, because... Not everyone can overcome routine. It turns out that the most difficult thing is not to find your purpose, your purpose in life, but to become a professional in your field.
Become a value to people
After you have become a professional in your field, you need to become an asset to people.
To develop this level, it is recommended to provide the first 50 services in your direction for free. Here you will practically raise your professional level and begin to receive clients and fame. Free services in your business of life will give grateful clients and its promotion in the market.
By going through the steps in this material, you can not only find yourself, your purpose in life, but also realize yourself as an individual and fully demonstrate your talents.
Your talents are endowed by God, and finding your purpose and persevering in discovering your talents is a vital necessity for every person.
I wish you to be a creative person who feels his purpose and benefits people!

The desire for self-realization and the desire to become happy are not the same thing?
Self-realization comes from perfectionism rather than from the pursuit of happiness, eudaimonism, which considers bliss, happiness as the motive and goal of all aspirations. “Happiness makes me bored,” said the heroine of Rousseau’s novel “The New Heloise.” This phrase very well conveys the spirit of self-realization. However, by making efforts to realize myself, I do not at all give up happiness. It will eventually come - as an addition, as a reward for my work. If, summing up my life, I can say: “I did everything I could, I used all my abilities, I achieved the goals that I set out, I followed my calling, I remained true to the life plan that I made in my youth,” - if I can, without sinning too much against the truth, say one of these phrases, then I will experience a feeling of satisfaction, peace, serenity. Isn't this what happiness is ultimately called?
The first difficulty: realizing what we really want
Andre Gide said: “There are a thousand “I” inside me, and I cannot decide to be one.” The realization of all our possibilities encounters the first difficulty: realizing what we really want.
Yes it is. That's why, perhaps, you should allow yourself not to realize every single one of your possibilities. One of the most dangerous temptations of self-realization is the desire to do everything you can, to try to put all your ideas into practice. This is a teenage dream that we have to give up in order to become adults, because in reality it leads to dispersal of energy, which is unproductive. We must overcome this “Don Juanism” of a person who grasps at everything. I cannot work in all specialties at once, shine in all types of arts, defend all positions in a row, engage in all sports. I have to make a choice. The forerunner of existentialism, Søren Kierkegaard, spoke of choice as baptism, and this is fair, since this moment determines the formation of our personality. You must be able to limit yourself, set limits for yourself. Self-realization is inseparable from self-restraint.
Ways for women to realize their potential
If creative, professional and social self-realization is not sufficient or interesting for a woman, then she can choose another path of personal development. Then representatives of the fair sex ask a completely logical question: “How can a woman realize herself in the modern world?” Many girls see themselves in the role of a loving wife, homemaker and good mother. Family happiness and care for loved ones are put at the forefront.
Psychologists consider female self-realization to be the only true and inherent nature as the main purpose. Most girls do not feel happy, complete and fulfilled without realizing their own potential in love, creating a family and caring for children. Each of the listed components of self-realization for girls is an integral link in the difficult task of building a strong and happy personality.
A woman’s self-realization differs from a man’s way of expressing himself
It is easier for women than for men to resist the temptation to reduce self-fulfillment simply to success measured by money, power or social recognition. They are not easily swayed by the temptation of high position. They are less overcome by the desire for glory, superiority, and power. They instinctively feel that our actions do not have to be exceptional in order to enrich us, and in order to self-actualize, it is not at all necessary to do something brilliant. Finally, it is more natural for women to imagine self-realization in connection with another person, in love, tenderness, family life, friendship.
