Who Are You?

Who Are You? What Defines You?

Who are you, really? Do your accomplishments and the things you own define you? Who were you before all those achievements? The things we’ve achieved or we own shouldn’t define us; we should be defined by our values, what we stand for, and what we wish to give to humanity.

In this episode, we dive deep into answering the question ‘who are you?’ The best people in the world are the ones who want to teach, to give back to the world, and who say without judgment. We get so quick at judging others but slow at properly judging ourselves.

The truth is that you don’t need huge achievements to define yourself, and you don’t need to share who you are to feel validated. Your degree, your luxurious career or lack thereof, your car, etc., are things shouldn’t have to define you. It is the things that no one can take away from you that define who you are. Think of who you would be if all the things you have were taken from you today.

Many people are distracted by all the things surrounding them that they lose who they are. Challenge yourself and others to get to know each other outside your material possessions. This is because the amount of money in your bank account or your social standing doesn’t make you better than anyone else. What makes you better is having true values, ethics, and caring for others.

Choosing a life of fulfillment is choosing more than your material things. Material things aren’t evil, but imagine all those things stacked on top of a core personality, that is goals.

Nobody ever teaches us who we’re or are supposed to become as people, which makes it easy for us not to care who we are. Knowing who you are will help you maneuver around others and how you may be perceived by others.

When asking yourself who you are, ask yourself why you put yourself in certain environments and situations. Evaluating who you are or are becoming will give you the space to change your mindset and circle. To change for the better, you have to be honest with yourself and what you can improve on to become the best version of yourself.

The time you’re spending now and the days you’re enduring are lessons for you to build a better life for yourself. Don’t ever have regrets when evaluating who you are because it took your past to get where you are today. Now is the time to become that person you never were; now is the right time. Be proud of yourself because many people never make it to this stage.

Don’t downplay yourself; you deserve to be you at this very moment!
