Personal Identity Audit
This audit will help you to find your âwhyâ and to know yourself more. I will suggest you sit in a quiet place, without any distraction, put your phone on flight mode, and go through these questions.
It was a liberating experience for me when I took this audit.
Here you gođ
How do you think the world views you?
How do you view yourself?
What conditions produce the BEST VERSION OF YOU? (The version of you who competes and gets the highest results.)

Man's Search for Meaning
While reading it, I felt the need to share all the beautiful lines which I came across that are too powerful. Enjoy!!
Suffering in and of itself is meaningless; we give our suffering meaning by the way in which we respond to it.
Words of Nietzsche: âHe who has a Why to live for can bear any how?
âDonât aim at successâthe more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of oneâs dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of oneâs surrender to a person other than oneself.
âThere are things which must cause you to lose your reason or you have none to lose.â An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.
I want to show with this apparently trivial story that there are moments when indignation can rouse even a seemingly hardened prisonerâindignation not about cruelty or pain, but about the insult connected with it.
The truthâthat love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.
Then I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.
Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Whether or not he is actually present, whether or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance.
Humor was another of the soulâs weapons in the fight for self-preservation
If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death human life cannot be complete.
It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by lifeâdaily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct.
