Lost In Your Reflection: Unraveling the Maze of Identity Crisis.

Finding oneself in a world where identity crisis is becoming a massive problem is difficult. It's one of the most challenging aspects of life.

According to Erik Erikson development chart, a German American psychoanalyst, the period of Identity crisis occurs during the fifth stage of development. At the end of this stage, a person can either resolve their identity crisis by establishing a firm identity or leave it unresolved, causing uncertainty about their identity.

Identity Crisis is defined as a period of uncertainty or confusion. This usually occurs when a person's sense of identity becomes insecure and unstable.

Realizing who you are, trying to make sense of the world around you, and figuring out your purpose— as if this isn't enough, you also have responsibilities, from a potential spouse (if you decide to have one) to your children (which is another topic on its own), along with expectations from parents. Add to that the realization that one day you will be held accountable for your deeds and misdeeds.

IT’S A LOT!

One can only hope that everything falls into place. But it’s definitely not going to be like the days of Elijah and the manna falling from heaven; it’s going to take a lot more than that.

Sometimes, I feel that, apart from the manipulations of Satan and his agents in making people think they are something they are not, individuals find life really difficult and just want to run away from their responsibilities, especially when they haven't been able to figure out their purpose.

A man or woman with a purpose has their life settled. They might not have the complete blueprint of how their life is meant to go, but they see and understand their mission.

Everything really boils down to purpose.

Now, where and how can we find this purpose?
