Who Do You Want To Become

Many of us run through life everyday seeking to achieve our basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter. This is understandable as humans since these are some of the fundamental things we need to stay alive. But beyond these needs, what do we seek from life? In waking up everyday, what purpose do you serve? Are you here on earth as a number to the list or something much more.

Whatever it is that we do everyday, it is important to seek to understand what it is that we want to become from doing those things. We move so fast and we sometimes move fast to nowhere. Your speed compared to another person does not matter as far as you know where you are headed. In living life, one of the things we need to find out is where we are going. In determining where we are going, it matters less that somebody else achieves something that we do not have. With that, we realize that everyone is on their lane seeking for what they want to become.

As you go out everyday, take some time out to ask yourself the fundamental questions of who is it that you want to become. What future you are you looking for? In asking these questions, we sometimes are able to better position ourselves in life. When another person buys something, you do not feel bad or sad since what you are seeking cannot be in anyway deterred by the success of others. But when we do not know what we seek for, every successful person becomes like a threat to us.

It is important to realize that you can be naturally jealous, but when you know who you want to become and where you are headed, you learn to let go of hating other people’s success and seeking to find yours. You share the happiness of others because you know that in being happy for others, happiness finds it way to you. So it is important to be happy for others while seeking to become who or what it is we want to become.

Realize that time waits for no one and a ship that leaves the habour with no destination is destined to never get to its destination. In the first place, what destination? Same as a human being who lives life with no direction or purpose. It is not compulsory to have a complete grasp of how the future would be, but it is necessary to have an idea of what you want to be, so that you know what you should do and should not do.

In seeking to become a better leader in the future, one would realize that it is important to begin to imbibe the necessary traits now if one does not already have them. So it is important to everyday have a goal and a purpose for our lives. We can leave this world any day but we want to leave it knowing that we lived with a purpose. A purpose worth fulfilling and a purpose that we are forever proud of. So ask yourself today, who do I want to become?

Thanks and God Bless.
