There's a serious identity crisis among young people.
This problem has affected the depth of our relationships. Finding our paths. Sticking to our values. A lack of trust in ourselves.
This thread is my way of helping you solve this identity crisis

1. Are you being real?
What's the reason behind your craft?
Are you doing it because there's a unique need your skills can solve or that's what everyone else is doing?
But do you even know the real you? Then here's a little detail from your childhood that can help.

2. Try to remember this little part of your childhood.
As kids we all had something we were praised for.
- Kindness
- Protecting your siblings
- Sketching
- Learning fast
- Thinking of your feet
Whatever it was, you can channel it into something. And I'll show you how

Kind people are empathetic, they love helping people. This could an identity.
And today, we have several channels to reach and help people with.
This applies to sketching, leadership, fast learning too.
Look back to your childhood. It's a great identifier.

3. Create a mental image of who you want to become
Every change starts with the mind.
The problem is, when we create this image, we get distracted by what's already working for other people. Then, the self-doubt comes, and this is what gives us an identity crisis.

4. There's no identity without God
Without connecting to God, you can't get an identity.
He's the creator and there's no other way to know who you are than finding out from the one who created you.

5. Who are you listening to?
There are many voices.
Even in your head, you have the voice of doubt and the voice of courage.
You feed these voices with your beliefs. When you say you're something, mean it - even when the doubts come.

6. Do something
Meaning starts with responsibility.
Find work and dedicate yourself to it.

7. Stop waiting for your identity to come to you
You won't magically find it a year from now.
You won't magically find it after school or when you leave the country.
You'll only find it if you do something.

8. It's more than money
Every path can bring you money.
So money shouldn't be your primary focus.
If your focus is just money, you'll never find an identity because you'll keep changing paths to fit what's bringing the most money.

9. It's about people
Doing it for people keeps you going longer than doing it for yourself.
It feels better. And your work will have more meaning to you.
