It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are

I thought I might share some thoughts about self growth and self discovery, as I picture them myself.
On the path to self growth and personal development, the biggest challenge of an individual is to discover in the core of his mind and heart the things that define him and distinguish him from his peers. Emotional maturity is attained only by embarking on the journey towards self discovery. Finding the real ‘you’ is a difficult and sometimes frustrating task, but it is always rewarding: it enriches your knowledge and builds character.
Everyone is confronted in the stage of their adolescence with the natural, yet confusing question: ‘who am I?’ Only the bold ones will dare to search inside and outside of them for the answer. Growing up means giving up and accepting ideas, preserving values and creating new ones, asking and answering questions, hearing and ignoring voices. All these sophisticated mental processes will eventually lead the person to being able to discern between right and wrong, between infancy and maturity, between himself and the world. For these to be accomplished, courage is necessary. Courage is the key to opening your eyes in front of a new mental and emotional perspective, to growing up into a mature individual that understands his own feelings and ideas.
Identity seeking is a natural, revelatory and fulfilling experience that every individual pursuits. One can never reach a degree of total understanding of oneself, but the mere fact of having the courage and determination to engage in this journey is what makes the difference between being a grown up and being a teenager.
As a conclusion, I might also add that our self growth and identity seeking tasks are constantly accompanying us, even throughout our adult lives, simply because they define us as humans wandering through a world of our own.

Chacun est confronté dans l'étape de leur adolescence avec la question normale, pourtant embrouillante : `qui suis moi ? 'Seulement les "BOLD" oseront rechercher intérieur et extérieur de elles la réponse. Grandir signifie abandonner et accepter des idées, préserver des valeurs et créer les questions de neufs, de demander et répondre, audition et ignorant des voix. Tous ces processus mentaux sophistiqués mèneront par la suite la personne à pouvoir discerner entre droit et faux, entre l'enfance et la maturité, entre se et le monde. Pour que ces derniers soient accomplis, le courage est nécessaire. Le courage est la clef à ouvrir vos yeux devant une nouvelle perspective mentale et émotive, à grandir dans un individu mûr qui comprend ses propres sentiments et idées.
La recherche d'identité est une expérience normale, révélatoire et accomplissante qui chaque différentes poursuites. On peut ne jamais atteindre un degré d'arrangement total de se, mais le seul fait de avoir le courage et la détermination de s'engager dans ce voyage est ce qui fait la différence entre être grandie et être un adolescent. Comme conclusion, je pourrais également ajouter que nos tâches de recherche de croissance et d'identité d'individu nous accompagnent constamment, même durant toute nos vies adultes, simplement parce qu'elles nous définissent comme humains errant par un monde de nos propres.
Foarte frumos, Simona Anja. Felicitari.

Always surprising you that it went the way it did.
You just discover that you are a discoverer overwhelmed by your discovery's and intrigued by the idea that there is still so much to discover yet.
