Ever sick and tired of your current self?
You want a change
Change into someone better
You dream of becoming someone who you look up to in the future
That dream of yours is possible
All you have to do is to believe you are that person already
In other words, you have to change your identity
Your identity is the foundation of everything you do
Think about it
If you believe that you are a nerd, what do you think you will do most of the time?
Nerdy stuff like playing video games and study hard in school
Nerds have a set of things they believe they are good at and others they are not good at
You don’t give up on what your identity is good at
If you believe that you are a nerd,
It’s natural for you to believe that you will get good grades
Because of your belief, you will not give up easily when you see a bad grade in school
You will think “Why am I not getting good grades? I know I am better than this. How can I improve?”
Instead, you will work harder next time to make sure you will get good grades like what a nerd should be getting
You give up easily on what your identity is not good at
If you believe that you are a nerd
It’s natural for you to believe that you are not good at fighting
Because of your belief, you will give up easily if you ever fail at a boxing practice
You will think “Boxing is not for me, I am not a boxer. I am a nerd, this is why I am not good at it”
Instead of working on improving, you are more likely going to give up on first few signs of failure
Leverage identity to unlock your true potential
You can become whoever you want to be in this life
The only thing stopping you is your wrong identity’s belief that you cannot do it
You can acquire any skill you want
The only thing stopping you is your wrong identity’s belief that is slowing you down
Have a new identity to support your changing into someone better
Take advantage of identity’s power
Have the right identity’s belief that supports your change
If you want to be a bad ass fighter, then adopt the identity of a fighter
If you want to be a dancer, then adopt the identity of a dancer
If you want to be rich, then adopt the identity of a rich person
With the right change in identity
You are better able to stop the bad old habits, because your new identity does not support the old habits
If you are trying to stop bad nerdy habits, with the identity of a fighter,
You will think “What am I even doing? Playing video games is not going to make me a better fighter. I need to be at the gym more often”
You are what you do
To become a fighter, if you practicing boxing consistently, you are bound to get better at boxing
With enough practice, you will eventually change into the person you dreamed of
With each successful change, you slowly build up your confidence in yourself
You will be confident that you CAN change for the better
You CAN improve with the help of identity shift
Conclusion
If you want to change to become someone better
First adopt the identity of the person you want to become
You are less likely going to give up on signs of failure
You are more likely to succeed to transform into the person who you want to be
Change your identity
Change yourself to be someone better
