The Best Way To Discover Who You Are

Who are you? In many different ways, people try to discover who
 they truly are as individuals. Some go off into the mountains,
 some travel to distant lands, others go to monasteries and convents,
 some walk up and down the beach early each morning, and
 still others seek to discover themselves through writing or music. I
 have even heard people use “finding themselves” as an excuse for
 leaving their husband or wife.
 
 You may try any path you wish. You may try to find yourself in
 a thousand different ways, but in a wonderfully profound and
 mysterious way, it is only through self- donation—giving ourselves
 to others—that we discover our true self.
 
 There is no greater gift than the sincere gift of self. It is the
 essence of relationship and life. It is not something that I completely
 understand, nor is it something I can clearly and definitively
 explain. But at the times in my life when I have been able to
 summon the strength of character it takes to give of my time, energy,
 and resources to make a difference in other people’s lives—
 I have experienced an unquenchable sense of fulfillment and happiness.
