178: Who AM I? How to Answer the Question of Identity with Sam Thiara

"Everyone's life is an autobiography. You are a living story. Keep building that autobiography into something worth reading." -Sam Thiara

"Who Am I?" is one of the hardest questions to ever bewilder us. Some people were able to find the answer early on, but most people struggle with identity crises even in their 40's or older. But where do we even begin searching for the answer? And is that answer really worth the journey? Today's conversation emphasizes that we should not be defined by what we do, but rather by who we are. Before you embark to find out what you want to do, discover first who you are and the journey will be much more fulfilling.

Sam Thiara is a British-born Canadian whose parents came from Fiji Islands while his grandparents came from India. In search of his identity, Sam embarks on a journey to find his roots with a small blurry picture and a burning enthusiasm. Was Sam able to find the missing piece in his puzzle?

In this episode, Sam shares how his travel to India was like and the lessons he learned along the way. As the Chief Motivating Officer of Ignite the Dream Coaching and Consulting, Sam also shares inspiring thoughts about perceiving obstacles, creating and being guided by your 5 core elements, facing tons of rejections, and making each setback a learning opportunity.

Sometimes, we forget that we are valuable– a living story, waiting to be heard by the world. Should you ever feel insignificant or invisible, tune in as Sam shares the CARPE formula to turn the ordinary into extraordinary.
