Who are you becoming?

A question I've asked clients over the years has been, "Given what you are experiencing, who are you becoming?" It is always followed by a palatable pause as they ponder the answer.

It is an important question and important one to answer. We are all becoming more or less of something, or more or less of someone.

As Drs. Robert Waldinger, MD and Marc Schulz, PhD point out in their book, The Good Life,

"We all share the ever-changing nature of our lives, and even of ourselves. Often these changes are so gradual that we can't see them. Our perception is that we are like an unchanging rock in a stream as the world flows around us. But the perception is mistaken. We are forever changing from what we are into what we will be."

We are forever changing from what we are into what we will be.

So, who are you becoming?

Here is the good news: if you don't like the person you are becoming now, you are free to make better choices that will help you become a person you want to be.

Remember, I'm pulling for you. We're in this together.
