My Self Discovery Plan
To me, life and self-discovery is a maze. It is a complicated set of paths, many leading to the same
ultimate destination. The concept is full of roadblocks and surprise turns but at the end of the day
the only way to progress is to keep trying new roads until one seems to fit.
Something that I really resonated from the previous class, was the idea of self-concept being so
complex and multifaceted. The discussion of how we have multiple versions of our identities,
whether personal or social and how to navigate these using adaptive authenticity is something that
I want to carry with me in this journey.
The first action will be trying to look at both sides of things. By doing so, I hope to change my
perspective on situations and to gain better knowledge about my views as an individual in certain
scenarios.
Secondly, I want to try to give more importance to other’s observations to help me in my path of
self-discovery. An important part about finding yourself is to consider how you’re presenting
yourself to the outside world and to contemplate whether it aligns with your definition of yourself.
Therefore, I want to look at other’s observations, whether positive or negative as a way for me to
better know myself.
Self-discovery is never completely possible because we as individuals are constantly evolving.
However, by implementing these two actions, I hope to get one step closer to finding myself.
