Who are You Becoming?

We live in a world of hard truths and big egos. And if we’re honest, a lot of us have been conditioned to think we need to have everything figured out—or at least appear like we do. But the truth is, becoming who we’re really meant to be often means letting go of those ego-driven expectations. It means listening more deeply to some of the uncomfortable realities about ourselves and the world we live in.

When we can quiet that voice that insists everything has to go a certain way—when we can let go of the idea that we must control every outcome—something amazing happens. We start to see things more clearly. We start to understand that becoming is not about forcing ourselves into a mold, but about growing into the person we were always meant to be.

It’s like this: if you want apples, you need an apple tree. The tree doesn’t have to try to be anything else—it just needs to grow into what it’s meant to be, and the apples will come naturally. In the same way, when we let go of rigid expectations and allow ourselves to become, the results and the “fruit” of our lives start to appear naturally.

So, from one human to another: let’s embrace that journey of becoming. Let’s be a little more honest with ourselves, a little more open to hard truths, and a little more willing to let go of what we think we know. In that space, we’ll find exactly who we’re meant to be.

"If you wish to taste true peace, begin to focus less on what you get, and more on who you become."
