I am not always proud, happy, or in love with myself. Sometimes I even resent myself (which is me being too hard on myself). I struggled (and still struggle) with my self-worth. However, over the years (in course of my personal development) it has become increasingly overt to me that that way of thinking is not only unhealthy but ridiculous.
"You are so much more than your body because you are connected to the universe and have a soul - and because you have a soul, you can never die (in real life)".
To answer the question – “What to do when you don’t know what to do in your life” – I’d like to refer to a book I just finished reading. It wasn’t the best book I’ve read this year, but…
The desire to be considered special isn't something we learn; it is rather something inherent inside of us - it is deep-rooted in our psyche, just as much as the craving for food.

A lot of people are under serious pressure to succeed in life - partly due to the increased connectivity of the world which makes us hyper-aware of the super-successful, and partly due to the unsettling rise of wrongdoers to the top...It makes one wonder, "do you have to be evil to be successful in life?"
competition is inevitable. There is a dire need to step up, to stay above the water, to survive… And Kaizen is how you do it. Life requires that you stay ahead.
