Discovering your essence involves immersing yourself in activities that make you feel like you are part of something real and meaningful. By pursuing passions that evoke a sense of awe and purpose, such as skateboarding, punk rock music, podcasting, or scientific research, you can connect with your inner self. Taking time to sit in introspection, listening to your inner voice and understanding what truly motivates you, can lead to a deeper sense of self-awareness and fulfillment. This process of self-discovery is essential for finding one's essence and creating a meaningful life.
