Who We Are VS Who We Want To Be

Do you genuinely feel like who you are and who you want to be align?

I’ve had this internal battle in my mind these last couple of weeks trying to find my answer. Honestly, I can’t tell you yes with all the certainty I would like to have, but what I could tell you is that I am working on it, and it’s not easy. It’s a journey where we are sometimes on a roll moving forward and then have a fallback and take two steps back. We have moments where we feel proud, then we can do something that brings us down and makes us disappointed in ourselves. We experience joy and pleasure, but they can very easily turn into guilt and sometimes even regret.

The bottom line is that growing into the best version of ourselves and who we want to be takes a lot of patience, faith, and sacrifice from our end. It requires us to be aware of the things and/or people that hold us back. What are we doing, and who do we allow in our lives that keep us from being at peace? I think that’s usually a good place to start, really analyzing what that is for us.

It’s so easy to lose focus and get caught up with “life” if we don’t decide to be intentional. Whether for you it’s getting up earlier in the mornings to fit a workout in or turning the tv off to finally read that book, be intentional with your actions. On that same note, it’s also important for us to be intentional about what we choose to NOT do. What do we have to give up or stop doing that keeps us from being the best version of ourselves? What bad habits do we need to get rid of that hold us back? Are there toxic people in our lives that we are allowing to stay for the wrong reasons? All of these things, if we are not intentional about working on them, keep us from our peace, which as result keep us from being who we strive to be.

If throughout your journey you feel like you might be failing, you’re stuck, lost, or maybe even a little hopeless, know that you’re not alone. We all face these challenges when we are growing and evolving. This isn’t something we achieve from one day to another, it’s progressive, and it takes time and a lot of work. So wherever you may be on your journey, just remember to not be too hard on yourself and work hard to be intentional with all aspects of your life in order to become who you really want to be.

¿En realidad sientes que quien eres se alinea con quien quieres ser?

He tenido esta batalla interna estas últimas semanas, tratando de encontrar mi respuesta. La verdad es que no te puedo decir que si, con toda la seguridad que me gustaría tener, pero lo que si te puedo decir es que es algo en lo que estoy trabajando, y no es fácil. Es una jornada en donde a veces, vamos súper bien, y de repente caemos, y nos tomamos dos pasos hacia atrás. Tenemos momentos en donde nos sentimos orgullosos, y de pronto hacemos algo que nos hace sentir decepcionados de nosotros mismos. Vivimos gozo y placer, pero muy fácilmente se pueden convertir en culpa y a veces hasta nos arrepentimos de los hechos.

El punto es que crecer y convertirnos en la mejor versión de nosotros mismos y en quien aspiramos a ser toma muchísima paciencia, fe, y sacrificio de nuestra parte. Requiere que estemos al tanto de las cosas y/o personas que no nos permiten avanzar. ¿Que estamos haciendo, y a quien estamos dejando permanecer en nuestras vidas que nos impide tener paz? Pienso que quizá ese es un buen lugar para comenzar, realmente analizando que es eso para nosotros.

Es tan fácil perder el enfoque y dejarnos llevar por “cosas de la vida” si no decidimos ser intencionales. Ya sea para ti despertarte un poco más temprano por la mañana para hacer ejercicio, o apagar la televisión para por fin leer ese libro, debes ser intencional con tus acciones. Por ese mismo lado, también es importante ser intencional con lo que decidimos NO hacer. ¿Que tenemos que eliminar o dejar de hacer que nos impide convertirnos en esa mejor versión? ¿De que malos hábitos nos tenemos que deshacer? ¿Hay gente toxica a la que le permitimos se mantengan en nuestras vidas por las razones equivocadas? Todas esas cosas, si no decidimos ser intencionales, nos roban de nuestra paz y no nos permiten ser quien queremos ser.

Si a lo largo de tu jornada tu sientes que estas fracasando, que no avanzas, te sientes [email protected], o quizás pierdes esperanzas, quiero que sepas que no estas [email protected] Todos pasamos por estos retos cuando estamos creciendo y mejorando. Esto no es algo que se logra de un día para otro, es progresivo, y toma mucho tiempo y esfuerzo. Así que en donde quiera que te encuentres de esta jornada, recuerda que debes ser intencional en todos los aspectos de tu vida para poder lograr ser quien realmente quieres.

  1. Thank you girlie. yes i agree sometimes we cant always be hard on ourselves. There will always be good and bad days but by the end of the day we have to thank ourselves that we made it through. Treat yourself and be blessed that you have what you have. Surround yourself with family, n friends who will brighten your day.

      1. One of my experiences was staying in one job for too long. Many of my friends and family told me that i can do better somewhere else. Of course i gave them excuses that i didn’t want to leave my job. Until one day i realized that i wasn’t happy working there anymore. So i pushed myself to find another place. One year later, i work at a different place. and never felt happy to work in a environment where i am doing more hands on. Everyday is a new challenge.

  228. Can I simply say what a relief to discover someone who really understands what they are discussing online. You actually understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular because you surely have the gift.

  246. Thanks for sharing these kinds of wonderful articles. In addition, the perfect travel in addition to medical insurance plan can often eliminate those problems that come with visiting abroad. A medical crisis can shortly become very expensive and that’s bound to quickly slam a financial problem on the family finances. Setting up in place the excellent travel insurance program prior to setting off is worth the time and effort. Thanks a lot

  305. Thank you for this article. I would also like to state that it can often be hard when you are in school and just starting out to establish a long history of credit. There are many college students who are merely trying to live and have an extended or favourable credit history can sometimes be a difficult thing to have.
