Defining who you are and working to build it and keep it is something that brings you both happiness and fulfillment.

While most of us are too busy trying to achieve as much as we can and keep comparing our level of belongings with others, we fail to notice that we have been neglecting to work on the most important thing in our lives. It is who we are.

Who you are is the center of your being and without it, you are but a disintegrated, confused, and lost being desperately in pursuit of happiness. And unfortunately, the more you try to get happiness, the less successful you are at it.

We wrongly go after success and try to achieve as much as we can so we feel good about ourselves, but then to realize that in return for what we have achieved, we lost a lot more precious things such as time, people who we care about or so many things that we wanted to do and we never had the chance.

Instead, if you focus on who you are and keep that growing, the success in achieving external things comes naturally.

More on what defines who you are and how to work on your identity will be covered in the upcoming articles.
