Your current life is the result of the person you believe yourself to be right now. All of your behavior, your habits, your thinking, your job, the house you own, the car you drive, the money in your bank account and the people you associate with, reflect the person you believe yourself to be right now.
If you want your life to change, you must first change who you believe yourself to be. You must look into the future and see the ideal future you.
Where do you begin?
You begin by asking yourself one simple question:
Who do I want to be?
Everything you’ve done up until now, is in the past. In a real sense, everything in the past becomes irrelevant. All that matters is what you do today, tomorrow and in the future.
When you define your new identity, you make change possible. Your subconscious goes to work in an effort to change your life to reflect your new identity. Who you are today slowly begins to morph into who you believe yourself to be.
Your habits begin to change, the people you associate with begin to change, your thinking begins to change, your beliefs begin to change and your goals begin to change.
Example
If the new you, your new identity, is thin and muscular, your subconscious will go to work to help nudge you in the right direction. It will whisper in your ear:
- Get out of bed and go for a jog.
- Get off the couch and go to the gym.
- Eat vegetables, not donuts.
- Drink water, not beer.
- Make friends with Anna (a lean, muscular person in your neighborhood).
It all starts with defining your new identity. That’s the first domino piece that sets everything else in motion. Who you believe yourself to be is who you will become.
