Who do you want to become?

Who you become will always be more important than what you become. What you become from a profession or career perspective might seem shiny at first but the shine soon wears off and will be forgotten, but who you’ve become will live on long after you’re gone.

While focusing on a career that can help fulfill some of your dreams and desires is important, so is thinking about the kind of person you want to be known as. I’m not suggesting that you cater or change your behavior or personality to suit the desires and whims of others, what I am suggesting is that you create the character you want to be known for regardless of external pressures.

An important thing to remember is that who you want to become can change over time, you’re not required to remain the same forever. If you’ve been the victim of external circumstances that forced to adopt a personality or traits in order to make it through a certain period in your life, it’s not too late to let them go.

Once you get in the habit of asking yourself, who do I want to become? Then you can use your answers as a filter to align your decisions and make choices that will help you forge the character you’ve chosen to become.
