Stop trying to find yourself.

Are you tired of hearing that you need to "find yourself" in order to achieve success and happiness? Me too.

Many of us spend a lifetime trying to figure out who we are, with no success. News alert! There isn't a you out there to be found. That fact should give you great relief. You can absolve yourself of a lifetime of searching.

The idea of "finding yourself" is a fallacy. It implies that there is a pre-determined version of ourselves that we need to uncover in order to be fulfilled. But what if the key to success is not in finding yourself, but in forging yourself?

To forge something is to create it through hard work and perseverance. It means taking action and creating your own path, even when you're not sure where you're headed. It's about embracing your uniqueness and creating something that is truly your own.

So, how do you start forging yourself?

Here are a few tips to get started:

1. Embrace your weirdness. We all have quirks and oddities that make us unique. Instead of trying to fit into someone else's mold, embrace your authentic awesomeness and let your quirks shine through.
2. Take action, even when you're scared. It's easy to get stuck in fear and self-doubt. But the truth is, we often don't know what we want until we start doing something. So, take action, experiment, and learn from your mistakes.
3. Surround yourself with inspiring people. Surround yourself with people who challenge you and push you to be your best self. Find mentors, collaborators, and friends who will inspire you and help you grow.
4. Embrace failure. Failure is a necessary part of the journey. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Let's ditch the fallacy of finding ourselves and start forging ourselves. Let's create our own paths. The power to forge ourselves into the person we want to be is within us. Let's embrace that power and create something amazing.
