This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes
You mentioned that when we’re stepping into our new identity, we’re basically letting go of something and stepping into who we want to be. Is it that simple? Then the “old you” sheds?—is that correct?
Yes. Because it’s not really you. It’s a figment of what you’ve been told about yourself in the past.
As you go through life, if you continue to attempt to move forward, you find out more about what you are and what you’re not. It’s remarkable when you start seeing how much of yourself is put together by the ideas, opinions, or suggestions of other people who’ve been in your life, especially in your childhood.
And you start letting those things go.
It’s only as you let go that you find out more about your true self.
As you’re doing this, don’t try to “become” something—instead focus on uncovering who you really are.
So many books and ideas talk about “become more.” Become, become, become.
When we do that, we’re mostly taking ideas from other people and saying, “Oh, I’d like to be like this person, and I’d like to be like that person, and this person over here is pretty cool…”
But we really don’t know who WE are. That’s how most of us were raised. We become an extension of the people we were around.
So, what happens if we start letting that go? Your true self comes to the surface because it’s always been there.
You keep stepping into it more and more. By the way—this is something you’ll for the rest of your life.
My mentor, Bob Proctor, told me it’s a lifelong journey. “You’re going to do this for the rest of your life.” He’d say, “You think you’re there—and then you find out you’re NOT there. You only thought you were there.”
As you go through life, you’re also changing. Every day you’re basically a different person on a cellular level than you were the day before.
But with each stage, you’re uncovering more of who you really are.
