On the path of pursuing your passion to become a skill; you will get to see various facets of your true self plus it boosts your self-confidence making it a win-win situation.

 

Serve others

 

Have you ever been in a situation that revealed a part of yourself to you? Serving may not be the go-to move for self-discovery for some people but it is an effective method to know you.

Serving people makes you meet various demands from others, stretches your capacity to accommodate, reveals your strengths and weaknesses.

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Have an open mind when asking for feedback about yourself. Listen and compare the feedback from others and your self-perception.
