Each of us has a core compass. It acts as our rudder, embodying the impulse of the path we must follow to achieve self-realization. From whence does it stem? Our core individuality.

Most spend a lifetime attempting to discover who they are, and once identified, that self morphs into something new, and the discovery process begins again. But what is it that each person is trying to become? Who are they striving to discover? The answer might surprise many, for what most people spend a lifetime trying to become is that which they already are—at their most molecular level.

There are those who go about trying to self-realize by attempting to be all that others want, pleasing them at every chance, even to their own detriment. But that won’t help one discover who they are, only how they can serve others.

In order to self-actualize, it’s important for a person to get in tune with themselves. Learn what makes them tick. Not how they can be of use to others. But how they value themselves. Not the merit others place on them.

Turning inward and viewing one’s self from within, ignoring outside influences, allows a person the rare opportunity to see a pure version of who they are and who they need to become, not what others would have them be.

When a person embraces the recognition of their core individuality, then they begin the process of shedding light on various parts of their life that may have been long denied or that may need growth.

Through the act of being still and listening to our inner selves, we can set our internal rudders on a course to self-actualization and maintain a true aim towards that end without the need for manipulative effort.
