Becoming “You”

nuggetsoflearning • January 7, 2019

Currently reading the book “Becoming Michelle Obama” which poses the question to all of us do we know who we really are.

We have so many roles in life, eg Daughter, Mother, Sister, Director and even the mundane Weekly Bin Collector.  Do we forget who we are to ourselves?

  • Who do you want to be?
  • What do you want to be known for?
  • Do you like yourself?

These are all good questions to ask yourself at the start of the year.  It is a good time to use the year before to review who you are and to make changes to become the person you want to be.

Review last year:-

  • What were your 3 main achievements?
  • Which people were key to your success and happiness?
  • What feedback did you receive and what mattered?

Moving into the new year decide whether the achievements got you closer to being who you want to be, and if not, what will you set out to achieve this year.

Think of supportive and unsupportive people were they a drain or a tap, and ensure that you surround yourself with the right people.

Feedback is gift we all take it, however it is whether you do something with it that matters.  What changes can you make based on others feedback.  The positive comments can be strengthened and constructive feedback can be assessed if fair and developed.

Becoming is a journey which we should review every year as our roles in life change we become who we want to be each time.
