Most of us look at ourselves in the mirror each day. Probably many times each day. A quick look at pictures of ourselves over the years irrefutably documents that what we look like today is NOT what we looked like 10 or 20 or 50 years ago.
Our beingness — who we are — has also changed similarly over the years. The work we do or don’t do or have done or haven’t done with regard to our physical appearance cannot be ignored, nor denied.
The same goes for the work we choose to do on who we are becoming as a person. Arguably, attention to our beingness is even more important than our physical appearance.
Step 1: We think intentionally about who we aspire to be.
Step 2: We go to work shaping that person we envision.
Just as in the physical domain, it will most certainly mean abandoning some habits and acquiring some different ones.
Today is a good day to start. The only day, really. The footprint we leave on the planet matters.
