Do you have a thing?
When people think or talk about you, does something immediately come to mind? It could be profession. “Oh, they’re the chef,” or “They’re the engineer.” It could personality. “They’re the loud mouth,” or “They’re the mom.” It could be utility. “They’re the fix-it guy,” or “They’re the gardner.”
Your thing is the story that people tell about you.
The reality is we don’t have just one thing. We play many roles. We have many stories. We are many things, but in a particular context, we probably are reduced to one.
Are you happy with the thing that people think you are? Do you even know what it is?
It’s never too late to change, but it does take intention and effort. Start with the story.
