The Act of Becoming

The Act of becoming:

‍

The Act of becoming.

‍

To be the best version of yourself.

‍

The goal of life.

‍

To find who you are.

To become who you are.

‍

To become who you were always meant to be.

‍

The chase.

‍

The pursuit.

‍

The journey.

‍

The goal.

‍

Of what?

‍

Of getting to the end?

‍

Fuck no.

‍

People don’t understand.

‍

People think the goal of life is to get to the end of the dance.

‍

It’s never been about that.

‍

It’s about learning to dance while the music is playing.

‍

The music is playing right now.

‍

What are you doing about it?

‍

Are you dancing?

‍

Are you moving?

‍

Are grooving?

‍

Are you becoming?

‍

Becoming who you were always meant to be?

‍

If you’re not, no worries.

‍

Fix up.

‍

Change up.

‍

Start dancing.

‍

Start moving.

‍

Start doing different things.

‍

Start figuring out who you are.

‍

Who you were meant to be.

‍

Start questioning yourself.

‍

Why are you who you are?

‍

How did you become this?

How did you become who you are today?

What led you here?

‍

And where are you going?

‍

What do you want out of life?

‍

What do you want to do?

‍

Ask yourself these questions.

‍

Please.

‍

Because no one else will ask them of you.

‍

No one.

‍

And if they do, it won’t be in the way you think.

‍

Maybe you’ll get lucky and find a friend or partner who cares about this stuff for you.

‍

But for most of us, you won’t.

‍

So ask yourself.

‍

Have a conversation with yourself.

‍

Seriously.

‍

Sit yourself down.

‍

What do you want?

‍

What do you want out of this life?

‍

What do you want to get?

What do you want to earn?

‍

What do you want to feel?

‍

Listen.

‍

Ask.

‍

Think about it.

‍

It’s your life.

‍

No one else’s.

‍

You are born.

‍

You have a bunch of sensory experiences.

‍

Then you die.

‍

How you determine those moments in between is up to you.

‍

Yes, you are born into circumstances you have no control over.

‍

But you are here.

‍

Right now.

‍

So how do you see life?

‍

How do you approach it?

‍

How do you understand it?

‍

What do you want out of it?

If you’re not happy, change it.

‍

You have a choice.

‍

You have power.

‍

You have autonomy.

‍

You have agency.

‍

Stop thinking you don’t.

‍

Stop being a victim.

‍

Stop blaming yourself.

‍

Or other people.

‍

Accept where you are.

‍

Accept who you are.

‍

Accept how far you’ve come.

‍

And now decide.

‍

What do you want out of life?

‍

What do you want out of your time on this planet?

‍

What do you want to become?

‍

What you’ll realize is this.

‍

The pursuit should always be yourself.

‍

Nothing else.

Understand who you are.

‍

Understand why you are.

‍

Understand how you are.

‍

Then go become the best version of yourself you can be.

‍

You have a choice.

‍

Go decide.

‍

Go become the person you were always meant to be.
