Finding Yourself

I always hated this phrase, as it implies you're lost, or at best undiscovered. As a piece of guidance to a young person, we should tell them not to find themselves, but to become comfortable with who they are and understand what they are capable of and enjoy.

The artist who dreams of business success or the barista that wants to dance isn't lost, they simply haven't yet committed to what they want, instead of what they're doing.

You are not unfound, so much as unacknowledged, and that doesn't come from other's it happens from within.
