"ابحث عن السمة العقلية الخاصة التي تجعلك تشعر بأعمق وأشد حيوية ومعها يأتي الصوت الداخلي الذي يقول هذا هو أنا الحقيقي وعندما تجد هذا الموقف اتبعه"

Finding that special quality within yourself that makes you feel truly alive, that sparks your passion and aligns with your inner voice, is the true essence of being yourself. This quote is all about discovering what drives you, what feels right at the core of your being, and then pursuing it wholeheartedly.

Let's break it down a bit. The idea here is to identify the part of you that feels most authentic, the one that gives you energy and joy. It's like when you’re doing something and you lose track of time because you’re so engrossed in it. That's a sign you're on the right path.

Historically, this idea has popped up in lots of places. Think about the Renaissance period, when people were encouraged to pursue knowledge, art, and science with vigor. It was all about finding what you're good at and passionate about, and then going for it. Or take the modern concept of "flow" introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, which is about being in the zone and completely absorbed in what you’re doing.

Imagine a chef who loves cooking. Not just because they enjoy eating, but because they love the process: the sizzle of onions in a hot pan, the creativity of combining flavors, the joy of seeing people enjoy their food. This chef gets up every morning excited about a new day's possibilities, even if they’re tired or the hours are long. Cooking is their passion that makes them feel alive and true to themselves.

So how can you apply this in your own life? Start by paying attention to when you feel most engaged and enthusiastic. What were you doing? Who were you with? What kind of environment were you in? These clues can help you identify that special attribute or activity. Journaling can be a great tool, jotting down moments when you felt most vibrant and alive.

Once you’ve figured it out, take small steps to incorporate more of that into your life. If it’s painting, maybe start dedicating a couple of hours each weekend to it. Love writing? Set aside time each day, even if it's only 15 minutes, to write. The key is consistency and allowing yourself to grow in that area.

Let’s imagine a relatable scenario. Picture Sarah. She works in an office, doing a job she’s good at but doesn’t exactly love. One day, she volunteers at a local shelter and spends the afternoon playing with the animals. She realizes that this, right here, makes her feel alive. The connection with the animals, the joy of helping them—it’s what she’s been missing. So, she starts volunteering regularly, and eventually, she finds a way to transition into a career in animal care.

It’s not always easy to make big changes, but even small adjustments in your daily routine can make a huge difference. The important part is to listen to that inner voice, the one that confidently says, "This is the real me."

So, what makes you feel alive? What sparks that inner joy and makes you feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be? Find it, nurture it, and let it guide you. You’d be surprised where it can take you.
