From master success strategist Tony Robbins: “The strongest force in the human personality is our need to be consistent with who we believe we are.”
At some point, we lock in with an identity and think, ‘this is who I am’, ‘this is how people like me behave’.
When exactly did you decide who you were? Is that identity still serving you and those you love?
Perhaps it’s time to raise the standard of who you are, and establish habits and rituals that are consistent with it.
Nice. I like it!
Funny, but Eckhart Tolle also spoke about identity, but from a completely different angle. For example, “When you let go of the belief that you should or need to know who you are, what happens to confusion? Suddenly it is gone. When you fully accept that you don’t know, you actually enter a state of peace and clarity that is closer to who you truly are than thought could ever be. Defining yourself through thought is limiting yourself.”
