Who You Be?

What I am vs. what I want to be...oh no...when did what should I be get in there?!

Sounds confusing like that but it's all about knowing yourself. The WHAT you are is easy to figure out. Look at your life. Can you describe yourself in three words...one for your work life, social life and for your relationship life? Example: mine would be 1. persevering 2. outgoing and 3. committed

From those words I know I like to get the job at hand done, hang with my friends and meet new people and I know that I want my  relationship to last.

Are these things I WANT to be(yes)...are you the person you want to be? For me, I think I'm on my way to where I want to be....I have more to achieve to get to where I want to be.

So after evaluating what you are, think of your goals. Is the path you are  on going to help you achieve those goals, to get you where you really want to be? 


Now is the tricky part...what SHOULD you be? This question has no bearing in my opinion...this question is create by people that surround you and who think they should have a say in your life. It can be parents, partners or society.

If you are poor you should be fast food employee( not knocking that profession just going on what the media portrays) if your parents have a business you should carry on the legacy...and so on and so on...

The what should I be question is one that only comes into play if you are comfortable with other people running your life, might as well be a robot.

So what are you?..what do you want to be? if you ever ask yourself what should I be, I believe the answer is "I should be what I want to be!"

It's a cycle of questions that only ends when the question what I am has the same answer as the question what I want to be.

The cycle begins again when you ask yourself 'what am I' and the answer is different to what you want to be.

It is confusing but oh so necessary. Finding yourself is crucial to you being on track to success. It also means that once you have achieved success you wont let it change you.

I think Emienm says it best 'I be what I set out to be without a doubt undoubtedly.'

Here's to positive people!
