Who are you becoming?
Most of us have been trying to figure out who we are… trying to find ourselves… getting in touch with our inner being… as if it is a secret out there somewhere. How’s that working out for you?Sometimes we find ourselves but we usually accept the discovery. What if you don't like who you are?why not be somebody else?It seems that we are resigned to being who we are and we spend much of our time, love and resources trying to change our circumstances. What if we have it backwards? What if, for the most part, we cannot choose or control how life will come at us, but what if we could pick whop we want to be?You may or may not be religious, but if you know much about the sayings of Jesus... he told us to be good soil, be a faithful servant, the true friend as if we could choose to be those things!He implied that each of us can choose the kind of person we will be.At the end of the day, how many of us can truly control our circumstances on a sustainable level?But each of of can choose... everyday... what kind of person we will be.If that is true… then who are you becoming?
