The process of finding oneself is called self actualisation or self realisation. As such, it is not an easy thing to do, as we are homogenous human beings and we tend to close ourselves off in order to make other people happy. Self actualisation can be an enlightening process and the results can be life changing. This process will make you learn "why" and you will be able to find ways out.
There are a number of ways in which you can find yourself. Meditation is the best way; you can do it anywhere, anyhow and at any time. When you close your eyes and concentrate towards the emptiness that you see and not think about your worries and problems at that moment, you will be in trance and will realise what is it that makes you sad and what is it that you want. Make little self actualisation trips like a trek alone or a long walk alone. Sometimes, you are sad and you don't even realise it.
