EP123- Voting for Your Future Self

Lets us know your thoughts thru TEXT!

What does it mean to truly take ownership of who you're becoming? In this thought-provoking episode, I explain a great concept from author James Clear that has transformed my approach to personal growth: "Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become."

Drawing from my own experience of transformation, I share a mental framework that has helped me make better choices daily. Think of yourself as the main character in a video game—are you satisfied with what you see? While we can't change certain attributes like height or age, we have tremendous power to transform other aspects through consistent choices. The key is developing a crystal-clear mental image of who you want to become and aligning your daily decisions with that vision.

This perspective shifts responsibility back to us in a profound way. Rather than blaming external circumstances, we recognize our power to control our future through deliberate choices. Yes, the world may have been unfair, but by taking ownership of our path forward, we reclaim ourselves. Each decision—whether to pursue growth or settle for comfort—is essentially casting a vote for the person we're becoming. These votes accumulate over time, gradually transforming us into either someone we aspire to be or someone we never intended to become.

Time is constantly moving forward, but that doesn't mean we can't become better at navigating life's challenges. Start this week by asking yourself: What choices can I make today that will lead me closer to becoming the person I wish to be? Your future self will thank you for the votes you cast today. Happy Father's Day to all the dads listening, and remember—you have the power to shape who you become through every choice you make.
