As soon as a person begins to realize himself as a person, one of the most interesting and longest stages in his life begins - the stage of realizing himself and his place in the world. Each of us, at a certain age and in a certain situation, starts to think about what he was born for, what he expects in life and what he can give to the world, and peace to him. Such reflections, of course, involve the formulation of many questions, including questions about their place in this world.
Usually such awareness comes in the period when a person enters adulthood, and can furthermore dispose of it himself. What the parents used to decide for him is moving to the background. A person begins to join himself to this world, to participate actively in the life's vigor. Reading books, getting higher education and getting to the problem of the most important society, any sane person will necessarily think about what his place in our world is.
At the very beginning of this path, a person must first of all become aware of himself as a person, later - choose the case that he would like to devote his life to, and then begin to realize the world and life as a whole. At this stage, many people think that they can make their lives so as to help society and the world to leave their mark on this life. Some make any professional contribution, others believe that a person has a continuation in children, and therefore the main thing in life is the family.
We will not remember here philosophical categories and that self-knowledge is the only sure way in a person's life, and the search for one's "I" can last a lifetime. The attitude to the world and life of the ancient Greek philosophers, as well as the philosophers of modern times, was completely different. Many philosophical currents formed on the basis of opposing worldviews have shown their right to exist. However, now there are absolutely different times, and therefore make predictions as to what will find each of us, perhaps, inappropriate.
In search of yourself as a person
The first thing a person does when he crosses his childhood is trying to understand who he is and why he came to this world. The realization of one's personality takes place gradually, in several stages. To begin with, a person must realize the fact that he is an active and active being. Later comes the realization of one's own unity and awareness of the common identity. Well, in the end, a person realizes that his "I" is different from others. The absence of one of these types of awareness leads to inadequate development of the personality and incomplete self-awareness. Best of all, if a person passes gradually one stage after another.
Human self-consciousness, according to the assertions of psychologists, begins much earlier, namely from the early childhood. But this self-consciousness is of a slightly different kind - it defines a person as a living being, able to feel and feel. But later a person's awareness of his personality is already a vyne. It should be noted that several factors influence the self-consciousness of a person: an assessment by the surrounding people, as well as peers, the correlation between the real "I" and the real "I", and, importantly, the evaluation of the person's actions.
It is also very important, in the process of self-knowledge, to obtain a system of social and moral self-assessments, as well as to learn about the system of universal moral values and norms. In general, self-awareness is a very important factor in the formation of a person's character, as well as his identification of himself in this world as an individual. It serves a person as a source of expectations about themselves and their opportunities in this world.
In search of oneself in the professional field
Once a person has realized himself, he begins to think about how he can benefit the world. A benefit can only be manifested through activity. Each of us has certain tendencies, skills, predisposition to something, or even talent. The main thing is to define it, to open it and start applying it. The search for oneself in the professional sense consists precisely in the fact that a person, for the duration of his life, would be engaged in his favorite business, to which he has definite tendencies.
It can be professional skills, talents, or just aspirations that need to be realized. Very often people forget about their vocation and choose that work, which is completely nenravitsya, but brings money. Many have no other choice and it seems that there will never be an opportunity to do what they like. But this is not so, in order to reveal their talents and abilities, sometimes you just need to have the skill and patience. Many great artists lived in poverty, but engaged in what they liked and what was good for the world.
Remember that if you are not in a place, then whatever you do and how carefully you do not do your work, it will not do anybody any good, because this is not what you should be doing. Psychological attitude and good mood when doing work are very important, and if they are not, then the result of your work will be mediocre. Every person should strive for what he likes and what he knows how to do best. Only in this case will he be able to find himself and live a happy life.
In search of oneself in life
What is the most important in a person's life? For each of us, there are our own criteria for happiness and a well-established life. One selects money and a career, others spend their whole lives searching for themselves in self-discovery, and others find self-expression in the family. And everyone is happy in his own way. However, absolute happiness exists only when a person successfully combines everything in life: he has a favorite job, next to a large family, he is engaged in his self-development.
It seems that everything is simple: he discovered certain abilities, got a profession, got a job, created a family, engaged in self-development, for example, traveling, doing sports, reading literature that promotes self-development and happily lives your life. In fact, everything is much more difficult than absolute happiness to achieve is difficult, but not impossible. The main thing is to go and be a good person.
