Who Are You Becoming?

We’re a culture obsessed with what we do. - It’s one of the first things we ask people when we meet them. It’s one of our most defining characteristics. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. To be honest a lot of people (me included) really like talking about what they do for a living because they enjoy it. - We are taught from an early age that success looks a certain way and you have to have a plan. We ask 10 year olds what they want to do for a living as if they have any idea while 35 year olds are still trying to figure it out. If you don’t have a plan or don’t follow the mold good luck being successful. - So we grow up thinking that success looks like what we see in the movies, which is if we’re honest, unattainable for most. Yet we strive to get there. We take jobs we don’t like, buy things we don’t need, hang out with people we don’t like just to create the illusion. - But there’s a question that is rarely if ever asked. In fact it’s taboo and we get a little awkward if it ever comes up. “Who are you?” - What you do is easy, it’s surface level; but who are you cuts deep to the heart of why you exist. Why are you even here in the first place? Nothing matters if you don’t have purpose and that boils down to character. - What you do is great but who are you becoming in the process. Are you becoming more loving, understanding, patient, or are you more irrational and irritable? Who you’re becoming makes all the difference. - Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙 - • • • • • •
