Take Ownership of Your Future Self by Benjamin Hardy

This article "Take Ownership of Your Future Self" by Benjamin Hardy emphasizes the dynamic nature of personality and the power of intentional change. It outlines three strategies for becoming your desired future self:

First, differentiate your past, current, and future selves, avoiding fixed self-labels to enable growth.

Second, vividly imagine your future self, setting specific goals for guided development.

Finally, change your identity narrative, publicly embracing your future self and aligning your actions with this vision. This approach underscores behavior as a key driver in shaping personality and future identity.

Start acting like your future self, rather than your former self. Embrace uncertainty and change. Embrace learning and failure. Never be defined by “now.” Engage in deliberate practice so that over time, you’ll grow into your own ever-evolving story. Take action, and invest in building your future identity.

This is how you become the version of you that you most want to be.

So, who do you want to become to set you up for success in 2024 and which actions you need to perform to take you there? Start sharing!

Until the next one, be well!
