I encourage anyone who has stumbled upon this website to ask themselves this question: Who are you?
It is the most important question a human being can ask, as the answer determines how a person lives their life. What you think of yourself is what you are. You cannot be successful if, in your head, you think of yourself as undeserving of that success.
I myself have no final answer to that question, so who am I to talk? I am just a “nobody” trying to collect the thoughts in his head and make his dreams come true.
The way I see it, this question is like one big cube that is itself made of multiple little ones. For example, I don’t think where you come from necessarily impacts who you are, but what you love doing in life is vital. I come from Tunisia, but that doesn’t necessarily define me. On the contrary, I love watching movies; that might mean I am someone who appreciates creativity and art. That brings me closer to answering the question.
Another “cube” is what you aspire to be in your professional life. I want to be a teacher. I want to inspire and empower future generations using the knowledge gained over a lifetime. That makes me a visionary—someone who wants to build a future in which he might not participate directly.
I think you are starting to understand what I mean. In the hope that you’ll come back:
May we meet again.
