[What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love] Who are you becoming?

It's good to do uncomfortable things. It's weight-training for life. - Anne
Lamont

I was having a conversation with a colleague I met while speaking for TedX
Port of Spain last month, a fellow speaker

We were chatting about goals and reaching the goals we set for ourselves.
What I learnt in that conversation was that it really really is about the
person that I become to to achieve the goal that becomes the most important
aspect of the journey. So take for example, my boxing training , I realised
that it was not only about wining a fight or winning a bout, it was the
qualities that I developed while training. The discipline to train even
when I would prefer not to, to choose to eat the healthy option before
heading to train or on a daily basis. The courage required to step in a
ring, the consistency and persistence, this is what brings me the
satisfaction more than the achievement of the goal itself. We change our
goals, we upgrade them we renegotiate them, in all of that we must develop
qualities, behaviors and good habits in getting to the end game, without
them the goal will become a dream unfulfilled. There is no bonus points for almost, nor are there bonus points for "I
tried"

Who are you becoming? Who are you becoming in the pursuit of your goals? Do
you have goals? Do you know who you are becoming or are things just
happening to you? What are your intentions? Why and who are you doing it for? Chances are if the who, why and what you are doing it is for other people,
society and the feelings of not enoughness then the goal is usually so much
harder to achieve

Pay attention and if it is not what advances you to living a life of
harmony, peace, joy, abundance and fulfillment, consider who are you
becoming as you make your choices

Peace
