I think this a question we wrestle with our entire lives.
To be or not to be..
a student
a scholar
a parent
a good friend
a runner
a success
a failure
I’m sure you can keep that list going.
The truth of this statement also provides the answer, i.e. ‘To become’ or ‘not become’ is a choice.
We make these choices daily with incremental acts, bold brilliant leaps or complete inaction within our lives. We create opportunities to become and we destroy them all in the same moment.
I am guilty of this, but I constantly remind myself everyday – I CAN WIN at this life of mine. SO CAN YOU.
To be.
To become.
“YES YOU CAN” (we are all familiar with that one). A popular tagline, because it feeds into our innate desire to succeed or success. Hint: you define what success if for you.
Today is a brand new day. What will you become?
As September is upon us a new season will begin, school will begin, some of us may start new jobs, some will walk away from it all; Dare to ask yourself the question: What will I become?
What will you write on your ‘To be’ list?
