Self-Development 5

So I think for some time now I've been on a little bit of an inner quest towards peace and coming to terms with my whole sense of self. I think it's a natural part of growing older that people can either embrace or try to run away from. I've come a long, long, long ways from the wreck I was about two years ago back so whoo 
Think tranquility, peace, open awareness, lsd, love, harmony, unity, softly-spoken words, gentle smiles, life vs. cocaine, heroin, meth, alcohol, hookers, guns, money, violence, struggle, robbery, yelling, death
The former of those things being representative of embracement/growth with the latter being escapism/degeneration. (Not that I was ever into any of the second-half of those examples)
Anyways, I'm wondering what ya'll here on the Shroomery feel about the whole idea of "finding yourself"? What is it that you value in life and are you thoroughly content with that? What do you REALLY care about? Who ARE you?

As an update, I've been totally on top of this shit
I'm sober the majority of the time, which gives my mind plenty of breathing room for learning and growing. I've been coming to terms with my full spectrum of emotions and thoughts, and working with the external world to put myself in a flow of harmony with others and whatever life can throw at me
On an unstoppable flow towards eternal positivity, I'm moving on up and nothing's gonna stop me anytime soon 
"Took a whole lotta tryin', Just to get up that hill. Now we're up in the big leagues, Gettin' our turn at bat."

The other night I wrote a letter to myself describing all of my personality traits that I find admirable and good as a practice of harboring positivity and self-love

I've been meditating and cutting a lot of negative people out of my life. and I'll find myself asking myself in certain situations whether my environment is benefiting me in anyway.
like if I'm on facebook for 30 minutes reading negative jive, I'll ask myself that and I'll immediately go on a walk or read. Or if I'm at a friend's house and everyone's just playing videogames. or if I'm listening to a friend complain about other people.
Our genes are already determined. so the only things I have power over are my environment and how I choose to interpret it. So I strive to have the most beneficial environment and mindset at all times. Which calls for a lot of awareness.

Hey Sheekle, i totally get into self development. I got into it after my girlfriend and i broke up about a year and a half ago. It's really cool seeing someone else who's also doing it but from a complete different prospective. Personally i've just been developing better people and busness skills. I begun learning lots of psychology methods, and it's amazing how i've changed since then, and i'm quite sure i've only just begun on this adventure.
Good luck bro.
