There is no easy answer. I wish there was.

Sometimes, our reason for existence comes unexpectedly and without effort. It is often found through trying new things and experiencing life. At the same time one learns a lot about who they are. Knowing and self acceptance leads to this revelation. At least this is what I have experienced.

Many opportunities can be missed when one tries too hard. Sometimes, stepping back can correct the myopia.

Accepting AS is another. We are different and need to find our own place in a world that is not set up for us.

Introspection is a good start.
