You gotta want it!

That’s what you’ll hear people say.

And while they mean well, they’re only slightly correct.

More important than wanting whatever ‘it’ is for you, you have to learn to be it.

You have to learn to be the person, to embody the person that already is the ‘it’ you’re seeking.

You have to learn to separate yourself from who you are right now and start being the person you want to be.

And this can be a painful process.

Honestly, I want to write that it will be a painful process, but I don’t’ want to scare or deter you.

The commitment required to change who you currently are to a new version of you will not be easy. In fact, it will probably be one of the most difficult things you will ever do.

It will be difficult physically because you will have to learn new behaviors, but more important, it will be difficult emotionally. There’s a high probability that once you begin to take on the new behaviors required for you to be the person you want to be, you will begin to jeopardize many of your current relationships.

Why does this happen?

Because the people you’re currently surrounded by are used to and comfortable with the current version of you. Once you begin to change, they will behave differently towards you, and you will have to decide if you’re going to let the gravitational pull of their behavior keep you as you are and where you are. Or are you going to put in the work that will be required for you to break free?

You will have to decide if you’re willing to endure the challenge of the metamorphosis of leaving the person you currently are to the person you want to be.

Will it be difficult?

Yes.

Is it worth it?

Well.

How’s who you currently are been working for you so far?
