How to prepare for the unknown unknowns

In fact, it used to be a great thing. We'd wake up super early there's me, my older brother and my little sister 'cos we'd want to see what Santa brought. The presents would always be on the sofa. My friend says he leaves hers under the tree, but ours are always on the sofa.

I guess there isn't much space under our tree, what with the My youngest child is five years old. His teacher wants him to be seen for an assessment, because of his toddler-like meltdowns in situations. The teacher said he's emotionally immature and she thinks he's on the autism spectrum. My husband and I are arguing You mightn't even know what that means. I know because I had to go to this psychologist or psychiatrist or someone, who did all these tests.

She was nice enough, but the main thing I remember is that she brought me back after and told me I had Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. They shorten it to ADHD. I remember it because I had to get her to write it down for me.

Why is it important for us to discover who we truly are and be our true selves? This comes down to the second point. Understanding one's self is not just about knowing what you do or do not like on the surface level -- it's not just about what you like to eat, what you like to do, what you listen to, or what you like to watch.

It's about who you truly are as a person at the core of your soul. This is the highest form of human's need. To self-actualize is to become whole. To feel content is to feel happy from within. However, a lot of people never really take time to discover who they truly are. They go on the pre-conceived pattern of what everyone else in the society is doing. They jump from one phase of life to another without taking some time off to reflect. They never leave their comfort zone to discover their true self with complete freedom at hands. Sometimes who you truly are evolves as you grow.

You become more patient and calmer as you get older. You become wiser and deeper. You become more intuitive and in touch with yourself. But only when you know who you truly are and act accordingly, you will never experience a deeper joy.

You will never feel "whole" and satisfied with yourself. This is why a lot of people seek happiness from external sources -- outside validation, praises, and materials. They keep seeking and attaining fleeting happiness -- the kind of happiness that does not last. It's never too late to discover who you truly are.

Why Throwing Yourself Into the Unknown Can Be the Best Thing You Can Do to Yourself

Throw yourself into the unknown and you will be surprised what you discover about yourself. As far as I can remember, I have been throwing myself into the unknown. It was quite scary at first but somehow it got easier and easier as I kept doing it. Every time I feel bored, stuck, or unmoving, I just throw myself into the unknown. When you learn to get used to being excited about not knowing what's going to happen, life seems exciting.

If you're still too scared to jump into the unknown, think about the last time you did something unexpectedly.

Cut the cord, embrace the future

What was the turnout? How did it make you feel? You felt scared in the beginning but were very glad that you had done it, weren't you? If you can't think of the last time you did something unexpectedly, then maybe you need to go on a random adventure. Talk to new people. It can give you a total breath of fresh air!

Throwing yourself into the unknown is scary. You don't know what's going to happen. You have to put yourself out there into the world full of uncertainty. You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to break away from your fear.
