and even if you think you've "found yourself" as your life progresses what you think you've found changes

concentrate on the now and be the person you want to be

I agree with this. We're ever evolving - so you just gotta go with it and accept who you are. Just really listen to yourself - what gets you excited, what do you feel passionate about, when do you feel at peace, when do you feel stressed, energized, etc. and go with. Just paying attention to yourself and the way you feel at any given time and in any given situation is who you are. You've already found yourself - you just have to see it.

yes! meditation and mindfulness specifically. I think a lot of times we stamp out our natural instincts "I can't do that because blah blah blah" - I think the key is noticing it and accepting it.

If you have this doubt -- and talk about this -- probably you are closer the answer than you can imagine. Look your eyes on the mirror and believe that they are telling to you. And relax after this and apreciate all the moments in your life. Good luck.

That's cool Yeah - I think it's a work in progress. And I think even if you have all the material things in the world, it won't fill you up anywhere close to being filled with a sense of peace. I'm not there yet - no where close! but working on it.

my thinking is itll take me til the day i die to find myself. and that the journey will have been worth it.

listen to your heart
be yourself no matter what others say
be truthful and honest with everything in your life
learn to accept the good and bad
fight for what you believe in

a peaceful sanctuary inside one's own self emits a quality that's quite a nice feeling and other know it..

Yeah - a peaceful sanctuary. And that's not something anyone else can ever give you. I haven't found it yet. Some days I feel closer than others.

I hope she finds herself too Just having an awareness of the pain is part of the process.

I don't know your situation. But, aside from the great advice already given by everyone else, I found it useful to turn off my TV. It was distracting and kept trying to tell me who to be.

The question isn't how do you find yourself,

It's how do I know when I've found myself?

Answer: It's when you stop asking....................

Live life without regret.

Be happy.

Learn from mistakes.

Life is short, you only live it once, so, make it rememberable.

I don't think you "find" yourself. You build yourself
