Becoming Who You’re Not Supposed to Be

We’re all on a journey of becoming.

But there’s a big difference between growth and drift. Growth stretches you. Drift pulls you away from yourself.

Sometimes it’s subtle. You admire someone else’s role. You want their results. You think, “I can do that.” You (try to) take on their path.

And suddenly, you’re chasing a set of results that was never meant for you, nor could you ever hope to achieve. Yeah, I’ve done this. Or tried to.

Growth comes from knowing who you are and working toward becoming who you can be. Drift comes from trying to become who you’re not supposed to be.

It’s OK to become who you’re supposed to be. We need that version of you.
