Is Life About Finding Yourself or Creating Yourself?

Many people subscribe to the idea that as you transition into adulthood, you should attempt to “find yourself”. Finding yourself is used to describe how every person has a purpose here on earth that is predetermined. Do you believe that there is a predestined version of yourself that you need to go discover?

 Or do you feel you can make life whatever you want it to be? The answer may be somewhere in the middle.  Creating yourself versus finding yourself is like comparing fate versus free will.  When you combine fate and free will you can move toward your destined purpose or calling with realistic, actionable steps.

Life is about finding or creaqting yourself

The Argument for Destiny:

To believe in finding yourself is to believe that there is one predestined path you are supposed to walk down. Just as a GPS navigation system can tell you more than one way to get to your destination, life can veer off to different paths but ultimately you will always end up where you were meant to be. People often cite examples of rare coincidences and random acts that lead to great rewards as examples of destiny at play.  

Believing in destiny does not have to be all or nothing. You can decide how much you believe that destiny is at work in your life. Although you cannot choose things such as your biological family or your height or eye color, you can choose how you use these factors in your daily life.

We are Free to Use our Free Will:

Believing in free will is to have faith in your ability to make decisions for yourself based on your knowledge and experience without any influence of a higher power. 

People who choose not to believe in destiny and subscribe only to the idea that they are in control of their lives don’t often subscribe to the mysteries of life. Instead, they believe that setting goals and working towards them is the only way to achieve what you want in life. Free will insists that we take action to move toward our purpose. 

Living With Purpose:

Incorporating both ideas of destiny and free will can help you to discover your purpose.

When you create goals that help you to work toward your purpose then you are using free will to create the life you want.

Examples of finding your purpose are:

  • Feeling a calling to live a certain way (think monks and priests).
  • Volunteering or working for a cause you believe in.
  • Creating a business that contributes to a cause you believe in.
  • Creating art of any kind

Together, the concepts of destiny and free will can help you create the life you want to live. Using methods of manifestation (destiny) while pursuing realistic goals (free will) you can create your reality. A life lived without purpose can still have success and many valuable attributes; however, finding your purpose will enrich every other positive characteristic of your life.
