A life-changing philosophy from beyond the grave sparked a profound transformation in my darkest hour. As a teenager contemplating whether life was worth continuing, I discovered a collection of sayings that belonged to my grandfather—a man I never had the chance to meet. Among these treasured words was a simple yet powerful statement that altered the course of my existence: "We are the person we are now becoming."
This concept contains remarkable power in its simplicity. It reminds us that we have agency in our own evolution, that we can choose which aspects of ourselves to nurture, refine, or release entirely. Throughout my life, I've reinvented myself multiple times, each transformation bringing me closer to a more authentic and fulfilled version of myself. This journey of becoming isn't about abandoning who we are, but consciously directing who we will be.
When examining our emotional landscape, we often encounter low-energy states like anger and fear. Though we recognize these emotions don't serve our highest good, releasing them can be challenging. I share a transformative approach to emotional alchemy—acknowledging these feelings with gratitude for their protective function before gently releasing them. This allows us to transmute anger into forgiveness, fear into faith, and resentment into gratitude. The key lies in understanding that letting go becomes easier when done with grace rather than force.
What aspects of yourself are you ready to release? What relationships nurture your growth, and which ones hinder it? How might you step into the next upgraded version of yourself? These questions guide our intentional evolution. Remember, you are actively becoming someone every single day—you might as well choose who that someone will be. Join me on this journey of infinite progression toward becoming our most authentic, loving, and powerful selves.
