REFLECT: You Can Decide Who You Want to Be
“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.”
— Carl Jung
Here’s the truth: most people don’t realise that you get to choose.
Not just once, but every single day. You’re not stuck being the version of yourself other people decided you were; you have the power to change whenever you want. You are not your past. You are not your label. And you're certainly not the opinions of people who don’t walk in your shoes.
We only show people what we want them to see, and vice versa; they only show us a glimpse into who they are. What we don't see is everything underneath the surface that has led us/them to where they are today, the things that have shaped us: our beliefs, our environment, our values, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
The moment I realised this was the moment I started showing up differently for myself; this also allowed me to remove judgment from others and lead with kindness.
Every day, we get the wonderful choice to create whatever we want, what we consume, how we move, and who we let in, and there is something beautiful in that choice.
Each moment, ask yourself, what am I choosing today, what do I get to do next?
