The Journey to Self-Discovery - Unraveling the Real You

"What we call the personality often is a jumble of genuine traits and adopted coping styles that do not reflect our true self at all but the loss of it." - Dr. Gabor Maté The journey within is a challenging but fascinating feat. It is one that we do not typically go on because of the fear of what we might discover. The world we live in does not encourage us to explore deep within ourselves, instead, we are persuaded to be what is perceived as the norm. For many of us, what we know as our identity is in fact a result of how we cope with our environment. This in turn denies us the opportunity to be our true selves. However, it is our authentic selves that allow us to navigate through life's challenges and live a more meaningful life. Knowing oneself gives us peace and happiness. It is for these reasons that I will share my insights from my own journey of self-discovery and reinvention. I will also delve into some of my learnings from Gabor Mate's book "The Myth of Normal, Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture". Have you found the essence of who you are? Are you being true to yourself? You do not have to be what society dictates, for you are the author of your own life. Go on an epic adventure with me and discover the value and greatness that resides within you. Become who you were truly meant to be. Highlights: ~ According to Gabor Maté, we are born with the need for attachment and the need for authenticity.  ~ Attachments help us survive. ~ Authenticity is being true to oneself. ~ How we think and feel is correlated. ~ We develop personalities and habits at an early age as coping mechanisms. Important stories: ~ 2:30 The essence of you. ~ 4:46 The two needs with which we are born. ~ 6:12 The correlation between how we think and feel. ~ 10:26 Gabor Maté's normalized ways of being. ~ 15:02 Our own identity and the attachments we have. ~ 21:11 Type C personality. ~ 23:39 My wife's impact.
