Just Who In The Hell Do You Think You Are?
No, Seriously…
Just who do you think you are?
When you look in the mirror…who is staring back at you?
Is it someone you are proud of? If not…WHY?
Is it someone who takes the easy way out of things, hoping that it all falls into place somehow through dumb luck?
Are you someone who is afraid to ask for help, for fear of judgement or ridicule?
Maybe one that longs for a better life or career but thinks you’re not good enough to have it? Are those impossible dreams really that impossible?
Is it that you think your social status defines you? That what you post and the filters that you use define your existence? Are you afraid to let people see behind the curtain?
Are you someone that silently judges others while wishing you had the courage to take the leap they did to better themselves?
Maybe you are all of these things…and maybe you are none.
You have to determine who you think you are, instead of what others have told you that you should be…or who they think you are that you just decided to adopt for better or worse.
In being so many things to so many different people you lose who you want to be at your core…and that is where we get lost; we start to believe the lie we tell ourselves, or the narrative we adopted from someone else’s perception of who we should be.
You begin to live for other’s opinions rather than living for the opinion of the one who matters most…
You.
So…I ask again:
WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
The answer: anything you want to be, and nobody that someone thinks you should be.

10moSo very true! For the longest time I was unable to articulate who I thought I was. And exactly as you stated the initial responses were not of me, they were the product of false core and limiting beliefs ingrained into me by experiences of the past. Love that you and Sara are helping people to find their identity. Identity crisis is pandemic😳😬

10moYou actually DO know who you are, but it’s covered under so much (stress, worry, relationships, work, parents, spouse, friends, VALIDATION…) You can rearrange the narrative and use who you are IN relationships, work, etc…but you don’t have to let all of that define you! 👏🙌
