Who ARE YOU ANYWAY?
Bear with me on this:
What if you woke up tomorrow and forgot everything you know right now?
Would you still be you?
What if you then remembered everything you’ve already forgotten to this point? (Right now you don’t remember them but remember them all tomorrow)
Would you still be you?
Are you your values and dreams?
Or, are you what you do, as is often asserted?
What if you forgot what all your problems were?
Would you still be you then?
If you looked at a picture of yourself from long ago, at a time when you did not have all the experiences and accomplishments you’ve had since then, is that still you or only the younger you?
If we know that you are you right now, would another you from the past or future say that you were you?
Or are you the older or younger you?
If your future self came back to now, would he/she say you were happy with who’ve you become?
Ok take a deep breath.
The whole point is that all your experiences do not make you who you are.
How do you know you are you?
Identities are not really you, are they?
You are always changing, you just may not be noticing.
The question is; are you changing in ways that you like, or want?
Remember when we had you look at that image of your younger self? Haven’t you in reality done just that with actual pictures or video and were embarrassed? It’s always amusing to me when that happens. You’ve come a long way since those images. You’ve learned and changed so much.
So now we can do that process – but quickly in your mind. So go ahead and travel into the future (in your mind) and turn and see yourself now - from the future. Except all the learnings and growth that you will have in the future … have them now. Think smarter, think better - now.
In marketing they always say to find a niche market. Well my niche is non-traditional; I'm not the stop-smoking guy, or the lose-weight guy. I'm the "Let's get you UN-STUCK guy". In my personal coaching, I thrive best when I can help someone free themselves from unwanted habits, hesitations, and difficult problems. If you're stuck, and sick of being stuck, give me a call. You'll be glad you did.
