Who are you? How do you identify yourself? Are you a husband, wife, father, worker, employer, athlete ?
When someone asks you who you are how do you respond? Identity is one of the most powerful forces in our lives. How we are identified or how we choose to identify ourselves can either empower us or limit us. We have a choice to create a more powerful empowering identity.
I learned this distinction from Tony Robbins at one of his seminar and my decision to create new more empowering identities help me make the transition from who I was or thought I was at the time to who I have become and who I cam continuing to become.
At the time I took his seminar I saw myself as a postal worker, a struggling actor and an average person. I decided to step into a larger vision of myself and my life as a leader, a motivator and that journey led to my taking on many new identities as a counselor, public speaker, actor, writer, producer, motivator, husband , father. The large picture identity I stepped into was to see myself as a leader and a role model of possibility.
So I suggest you expand your identity and your vision of who you are and can become. It doesn't matter where you start but where you end up.
