Who am I really? - Guide to Happiness

Those who want to be happy should lead a life that suits them. It's not about following the trend of having as many friends as possible or a job where you are unhappy but rich. It's not about what is on the Internet as a guide for 2022, or who is better or worse.

It's about finding out who you really are and doing what makes you happy. But:

What makes you happy?

Who do you want to be?

What is your individual path to happiness?


Who are you really?

Due to our constant changes inside and outside, it is impossible to answer this question directly. We are in a constant state of change and need all the time to find out who we are.

1. What are you good at?

Above all, it is important to be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses. If you know what you are good at and what activities you like, it goes on. Filter things that you enjoy and also write down what you have already tried. Where have you helped others before or which activity has particularly fulfilled you recently?

2. Which values are important to you?

In connection with your preferences, it is also important to know which values are important to yourself.

  • Where are there limits for you?
  • What do others appreciate about you?
  • What kind of value do you have?

3. What is already fulfilling you in your everyday life?

Now check if you are already integrating some activities into your everyday life.

  • When does your everyday life feel like happiness?
  • When do you feel complete?
  • What is your personal happiness in everyday life?

4. What do you want to improve or learn?

If you know what you can already do and what values you represent, now ask yourself the question:

  • In which field do I want to further my education?
  • Which hobby do I really want to expand or start for a long time?
  • What has been on my list for a long time, but so far I haven't had the courage to start and try it out?

Man is designed to learn and often finds his fulfillment in new things. Over the years, many sink into a rut that leads to us stepping on the spot. We let ourselves be inhibited by trifles and push excuses forward. At some point, this is a frequently used description. Routines give us security, but also lead to the fact that we often lose ourselves.

No one wants to look back at the end of his life and wonder why everything is so monotonous or why you never dared to do anything. So today we should ask ourselves what we want to feel and feel when we are old.

5. What do you want to look back on with pride and happiness at the end of your life?

  • What kind of person would you like to have been?
  • How should others remember you?
  • What would you like to have contributed to the happiness of the world?
  • Which path would you like to be able to proudly call yours?

And if there is something you really want to do now - here and today - then do it. Do not wait until you run out of time or are no longer able to. Do not wait until you are old. Start making your dreams come true now to be happy.

This is how you manage to look at your life full of happiness and pride. Focus on your strengths, expand them, find your passion and use your vocation in this world. Your guide to happiness is yourself - you just have to go out and stay true to yourself.
