"Life is not about finding yourself, life should be about finding yourself." :-)

We practically get handed a road map for how reality works. But honestly, it's in our hands to know which path we want to take. We may have seen life differently through problems and misfortunes but keep in mind that what your story before doesn't have to define who you are now.
Ruínas de São Paulo, Macao
Ruins of St. Paul was one of the largest Catholic church in Asia during the 16th Century. Royals from different countries bestowed upon the church all best gifts but the cathedral's fortune receded when a fire during a typhoon in 1835 destroyed the church. It was very devastating but people from Macau used this incident to create a historical landmark which made this church as one of the most visited place in their country.

The history of St. Paul's church was certainly a symbolism of life after an immense obliteration. Indeed, this is a perfect example of how I think we should see life as a challenging journey filled with struggles and obstacles. After all, it is true that there is no easy way to success and it has never been for anyone, so be prepared to face enormous problems.
Wise men said that only sensible people appreciates the beauty of mistakes. Victory is molded not just with good experiences but also with dreadful incidents. Life is a trial and error. Finding yourself is a journey and not a destination.

Our society has a very different perception of what is good or bad. Some people categorize beautiful from misfits or cool from losers but in reality, those classifications have no basis. As I always tell myself, "with good education, know only of what you believe to be good and not what anyone else has told you".
The Senado Square
To be certain in life is difficult but if you start relying on yourself and doing what is best, nothing could go wrong. In a world where people will influence you, it is important that you should learn to believe in yourself and trust your own feelings. With patience, everything will definitely come in the right time.
Let go of the need to be loved by all. There will always be people who will think poorly of you no matter what you do. It's important to forget about what everyone else thinks because you can't please everyone. And while you might not want to disappoint the people close to you, know that people who truly care should want you to be happy. As long as you continue to exist just to fulfill other people's idea of who you should be, you'll never know who you really are.

If you messed up, don't be afraid to start over again. In fact, it is more exciting to plan the future after a great fall because you're now equipped with mature decisions and wise apprehensions. Hence, you've got more probability now to succeed by eliminating the mistakes you had been. When analyzing negative past experiences, look at the positive learning message of it and use it to your advantage!
Most importantly in your journey to success, don't forget to stay grounded and pray to God. With His blessings, anything can be achieved.
