Is Who I Am Who I Want to Become?
Ive been reading Tony Robbins Awaken the Giant Within, yes Im a sucker for self-help books, but what he has to say is really helpful. What is most surprising is how easy he makes it to change for the better. You see, there are some things in our unconscious that we need to become aware of if we are to change and not keep falling into unproductive habits and patterns. We also have to consciously make decisions that lead to more productivity and instill them into our identity. We have to look closely at out values and the things that shape us into who we are.
You know, Ive gotten such a release as of late. I didn't realize how much I was going down into darker feelings and how much I was letting things affect me until one day Tom told me that I couldn't be the way I was, and I asked why not, and he said thats not who you are. That statement kinda floored me, and my only answer was to come back with a, but thats what you do. And he said thats because I am like that.
Huh, funny how those two words cannot create something so profound. Yes those two words, I AM. It has the ability to keep you as you are, and the ability to change you. I could never call myself a marathon runner until I did it, but you know what words I used many times over. I AM going to run a marathon, so I did.
What are some of your wants? Do you want be a millionaire? Can simply believing that I AM going to be a millionaire make you one? Not really, but it sets you on the right path of what you desire. I wanted to be a athelete. How does one become an athelete? By doing things atheletes do right? Well I told myself that I AM going to become an athelete, and so I did. I said I AM going to run a marathon and I did, I said I AM going to do a Triatholon and I will. I say I AM going to finish the Ironman, and I will. I AM an athelete, therefore I do the things atheletes do.
When people tell me that they are impressed with something I do, all I usually tell them are two words, "I try". And to myself I finish by saying, ...therefore I do.
I AM a DOER, and I keep reminding myself of that so I continue to become a better doer. What do you want to become? Start it all off by saying I AM.
