Answer 3

I agree with don_hora, thats the main thing, dont worry about it. Also you should readTHE SECRET, pretty good book, according to it, its all about the law of attraction, which is basically a combination of thinking what you want, and feeling it.  Also, you say you cant find anything tha motivates you, that's a lie, there just has to be something, otherwise you would be sort of dead and a vegetable. But seriously, get that book.

Answer 4

The secret is knowing who you are, why you are here, what your purpose is and what choices to make.  

God created you for a reason.  He brought you to earth for a purpose.  He created you because he wants you and he even knew you before you were conceived (Psalm 139). He made you to look the way you do and gave you talents and gifts and skills to use through your life. He made you perfect, to be exclusive, unique and one of a kind with your own original thumbprints. He gave you your parents and family and a name. He loves you. he cares all about you, he wants you to know him and to allow him to be a part of your life.  So he gave you the freedom of choice. You can choose him or not. You can choose good or evil, love or hate, black or white. positive or negative, fear or trust whatever you choose will have a consequence. If you choose negative, your life, your friends, your choices and feelings thoughts and emotions will be negative and because negative draws negative to it it will bring more and more negative situations your way. If you choose positive, your whole life will run in that direction.  Even you will be that and people will like you because positive people are confident, encouraging, nice to be with, sensible, wise and have understanding of others. They are kind, thoughtful, caring, loving, joyful yet peaceful, good, faithful, patient, enduring things and they are self-controlled. They have a good self esteem and know who they are and what their gifts and talents are and use them to their best advantage as well.

To become motivated and to be positive you need to get out of the pit of self-pity. That pit is so negative and depressing and full of things like unforgiveness, criticism, pride, envy, jealousy, anger, bitterness, murderous thoughts and even murder, suicidal thoughts, self-pity, self-recrimination, self-hatred, selfishness, stubbornness, unworthiness, worthlessness, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, deceptions, assumptions and presumptions, and many other things like despair and anxiety etc.  A person dragged into the mud by the negative things is shacked by all these roots of  the tree of rejection.  When they are told to get out the don't FEEL like they can, and listen to the negative voices in the cave that say "You cant do this, you are not worthy to do this, you would be better off dead!!!!"  Yet hanging next to the person is a rope of CHOICE.  All the person has to do is to choose to rise up and get out of the pit. Guess whats outside the pit? Fields of hope and mountains of possibilities and the sky is the limit!!!!! We can be anything we want to be.  We are the masters of our own destinies and all we have to do is stop procrastinating and simply to choose not to listen to negative things at all and to chase the negative thought feelings and emotions to h**l where they belong.  We need to rise up above I CAN'T and say "I can do all things through God who gives me strength!" "I am not a loser - I am a winner. "Speak the things that aren't as if they were!" That is also biblical! God wants you to be positive and to trust him with all your heart, all your mind and all your understanding.  He will lead you besides the still waters where he will restore your soul and even if you enter the valley of the shadow of death God is with you and you will fear no evil because his rod and staff are there to comfort you and if you focus your attention on him he will bring you out of that place to a place of safety.  HE even says he will set a table for you in the midst of your enemies where you will wine and dine without any fear.  Behind you walk goodness and mercy to protect you too. Seek God while he may be found and see what happens with time - you will be pleasantly surprised! God bless you and may you find you and a life worthy of living for!

Answer 5

1. Read (books, articles, etc.)

2. Have a lot of conversations (deep conversations, not just small talk; debate)

3. Try new things (try looking the world a different way, doing something new, going somewhere new, etc.)

4. Smoking (or eating w/, or drinking w/) herb while doing either of the above (optional).

That's how I did it... but you never really "find" yourself as if there is a final answer to the question. All you can do is add on, or take away, from how you saw yourself before and how you fit into your world view.

Peace.

Answer 6

I don't know.. it just kinda hits you out of nowhere...I guess you just mentally or physically take yourself away and just reflect... when you're not thinking about it, it just comes to you. In life though,you will never really find your "permanent self". You'll figure bits and pieces along the way until you've a got temporary identity and then it just goes away completely as you reach different stages and phases in your life.

Answer 7

go on a pilgrimage in the desert or forest, and when you come back out in a year you'll know, oh yeah you'll know.

Answer 13

isolation from society.

Society is the one factor to strip you of your true self.

In the book Walden, he travels to a uncharted island and lives there for some many years to find himself.  Which he does.  In the midst of loneliness, he finds out who he really is and what's really inside.

Because literally nothing else is there to stop him.

It's pretty scary, but imagine seeing that bareness of your soul?
