Who Are You Becoming?

Have you ever felt like things just don't go according to plan? It's okay, we've all been there. But let me tell you, that shouldn't stop you from making plans altogether. Even though life can be unpredictable, we can still take intentional steps to shape our future. Whether it's the friendships we cultivate, the environments we place ourselves in, or the career paths we choose, we have the power to design a life that aligns with our values and aspirations.  

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that everything in life is random or happens by sheer luck. But, this kind of thinking can be limiting and prevent us from taking action towards our goals. Instead, let's acknowledge that while we can't control everything, we can control our mindset and the choices we make.  

When it comes to building a fulfilling life, it's essential to ask ourselves what we're basing our decisions on. Are we solely focused on acquiring material possessions or achievements? Or are we striving to become better versions of ourselves and make a positive impact on the world around us? It's important to reflect on these questions and ensure that our values align with our actions.  

One practical way to do this is to ask ourselves why we want something before making a decision. For example, why do we want a particular job or a new possession? Is it to fulfill a temporary need, or will it bring lasting fulfillment? By reevaluating our values and goals, we can create a more coherent and purpose-driven life.

Of course, it's important to remember that setbacks and challenges are inevitable. But by focusing on our values and aspirations, we can find inspiration and motivation to keep moving forward. This week I invite you to embrace your why and use it as an opportunity to grow and become the best version of yourself.
