One of the cool things about being a human is that we can constantly grow, change, and update our own identity. It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and it can actually be a fun experiment to…
How have you been in different chapters of your life? Which chapters would you like to repeat? Which chapters would you never wanna repeat? And the crazy thing is, as humans, we are always creating this avatar of ourselves, like, truly this identity that we create as a human being, this mix of nature and nurture.
It can be something fun that we really play with and enjoy.
Like, we get to recreate ourselves at different stages.
We get to grow.
We get to learn.
And sometimes it can be hard to get rid of an old identity that we've had.
You know, as we've outgrown that identity or we've learned and changed over time, sometimes the people around us have a hard time letting go of that identity, or we have a hard time letting go of that identity ourselves.
But today, I wanna talk all about that, and it just seemed very fitting since I'm starting a new phase, and hopefully in this phase I will be an even better version of myself.
I can learn from the past, learn from things that have happened in my life, and use all of them for this next chapter.
I had all this on my mind, and coincidentally, I was listening to a podcast shortly after I took some notes, and it was by Mart Tweedy of Canny Crystals.
And in his podcast, he was asking some of the same questions I had just written down.
And I like the way he phrased it, so I'm gonna repeat what he said verbatim.
But he said, "Who did you need to become the last time that you were truly happy? And what is one thing that that version of yourself would do today?" And hopefully this podcast today will prompt some thinking for you, and you can really, like, dig a little bit deep into, like, old chapters of your life and really, really think about those times that you were happiest, like, who you were with, what you were doing, all of those details, because identifying those times is really important in knowing what you wanna replicate.
