It’s not true. Well, some profundity may be experienced in the realm of delving into your mind, altering your consciousness to a point where your perspective changes. But, at some stage, you’re going to need to stop trying to lose yourself, otherwise, simply put, you will never find yourself again.
Stop trying to lose your sense of self. And start trying to find it.
At some point, when the motivation for finding yourself takes over, and you exert energy to this guise, learning and becoming who you want to be will be inspiring and fulfilling.
It takes action. And it takes motivation. Don’t wait for the motivation, because it will often not show up until the action has begun. The change will start when you choose it. It starts, with action. It’s just around the corner. But it will never come to you. The changes you desire will lie in wait for you to find it.
Change is inevitable, but the change you want will need to be found.
We have the power to decide our destiny. It takes a choice to do so.
