A Bigger You
Who you’ve been in the past does not define who you are today. You woke up the hero of your life. Today, who you’ve been in your past does not define what you can do.
Anytime you go through something difficult, a piece of you dies. But you come through, and then a bigger you comes back. We have to get out of our minds this idea that who we are is this static thing. At some stage, you did new things, didn’t you? At some stage, you did something new that taught you something new about yourself. You overcame something, handled stress, dealt with grief, or faced a heartbreak you never thought you’d survive. You did something; you’ve been through things that have changed you.
This Is Who I Want to Be
We’re afraid of the old us dying. We’re afraid of letting go of that because this new person, this new woman that’s going to come back, what she’s capable of might scare me. That might mean doing some new things; that might mean change. So it’s easier to stay where I am. It’s easier to hold on to the old.
If we want to get to the next level of our personality, of what we can become, someone who is the hero of our life, someone who goes after what you really want, someone who stops caring so much about what other people think and stops living life by what others think, we have to start upping the stakes.
The only sustainable way to be a certain way is to go out there and say, “This is who I want to be. That’s why I’m doing it because I can’t get to 90 years old and look back, knowing that I didn’t spend my life being this person. I’m not kind because I want kindness. I’m not sociable because I want a boyfriend. I’m not generous so that people will think highly of me. I do these things because this is who I want to be, the person I’ll be proud of in my lifetime.”
Something You Can Do Today
Take a step today toward becoming the person you want to be.
