Do you know

Tuesday, October 27
Do you know who you are?
One thing I’ve found consistently in people I admire (you can say they are successful, impactful, influential, trusted, productive, etc) is that they know who they are.
They have a very strong opinion of themselves. What I mean by strong is that it is unwavering. It is not that they think they are better than someone else, it is that they are extremely clear on who they are.
It is this strong sense of identity that roots them, that allows them to have better perspective, to be clear in the midst of chaos.
On the flip side, I’ve found that most people don’t know who they are. They do not have a strong, clear identity. What they believe about themselves changes with the room they are in. It’s hard to make progress when you put on a different mask every hour.
Know who you are. Really, really know. Then live from that.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
