Finding your true self is actually a horrifying task.

It means you have to dig deep and strip away all the pretenses you have about yourself. It involves searching into every crevasse of your being and unearthing some of the corners you’re not ready to face.

Finding the true self will have you walking down the dark alleys of your past alongside the bright moments that were long forgotten.

It’s not something that can be done quickly, or easily.

There’s no simple hack, quick-fix or shortcut to getting there either. You will have to trudge through the mud and face off against your ego, which refuses to let go.

Your ego will manipulate you into thinking you’ve found it and then keep veering you off course as you realize your errors. It doesn’t want you to know what lies beyond because it has a strong will to survive.

However, if you’re willing to go down the path, you will uncover something that cannot be expressed in words. You will also be elevated so something much higher than you’ve ever felt in life.

You will feel true freedom.

It’s horrifying, it’s hard… but it’s worth it.
