People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates. – Thomas S. Szasz
I think it’s both. “Finding myself” can imply that I’m here for a reason, that I have a mission, a calling… and therefore, I need to discover it. “Creating myself” implies developing character, values, habits, and a life of balance so that I can do what needs to be done to fulfill my purpose.
