Finding Yourself

This is easier said than done.  I finally found myself as a full grown adult.  But if one can find him or herself at an earlier age, life will be simpler and smoother.  People should take more time figuring themselves out like their likes/dislikes, their strengths/weaknesses, and their goals/dreams.  My high school, college, and early adulthood years were filled with angst and confusion.  I heard the cliches, "Be comfortable in your own skin" and "Just be yourself".  I guess I wasn't ready at the time.  Better late than never!  I just feel if more people accomplished this earlier in life, the world might be a happier place.
