Who Am I? — A Question That Shakes You From Inside
Hello Assalamualaikum @everyone, greetings to all from @theindicators. How are you feeling today I hope all are fine and I'm also good 💯
Today's I wants to share a my suddenly thoughts in my mind.
Have you ever stood in the middle of a crowd and asked yourself… who am I?
It sounds like a simple question, but it hits deep. We wake up every morning, go to work, earn money, scroll through social media, laugh, sometimes cry… but what is all this really for? Is this all life is? Or is there something bigger behind it that we keep ignoring?
I asked myself this question on a day when I was extremely tired. Not physically… but emotionally. Everything in life was “normal,” yet inside there was an emptiness. It felt like I was just a machine. Running from morning to night, but with no clear direction.
Slowly, I started realizing that a human being is not just a body. We are not created only to eat, sleep, and earn. There is a thirst inside us. A strange restlessness. And this thirst cannot be satisfied with worldly things. The more you get, the more your heart wants. The more appreciation you receive, the more silent your inner emptiness feels.
Honestly… a few years ago, I believed that if I had enough money, some recognition, people praising me, then maybe I would feel peaceful. But the more I achieved, the emptier I felt. Strange, right? Everything looked fine from the outside, but inside there was noise.
One day I told myself: Be honest. Are you truly happy?
The answer did not come immediately. Silence came. And that silence itself was the biggest answer.
Success is not what people clap for. Real success is what makes your heart satisfied before you sleep at night. When you put your head on the pillow and feel that today you moved even a little closer to your true purpose. Otherwise, we spend our whole lives trying to look big in front of others, while feeling small in front of ourselves.
Most of the time, we just become part of the crowd. The city lights are bright, the noise is loud, life is busy… but the darkness inside remains the same. The real light appears when a person starts recognizing himself. When he accepts his weaknesses. When he admits his mistakes. When he understands that he is not perfect — and maybe never will be.
I am still on this journey. I have not become some saint. I still make mistakes. I still get distracted by the shine of the world. The only difference is that now I do not run away from myself. I pause. I ask: What am I doing? Why am I doing it? And for whom am I doing it?
If one night you wake up feeling restless for no clear reason, don’t pick up your phone immediately. Sit quietly for a moment. Ask yourself… who am I?
Maybe the answer won’t come instantly. But the search will begin. And honestly, real change in life starts exactly from there — when a person begins searching for himself
