3 factors that shape your identity

// thread //
“Keep your identity small.”

― Paul Graham @paulg

Your identity is everything. It's YOU!

Losing identity can be a long process over months:

• event or trauma
• change in workplace
• loss of a job or profession

Your identity is what separates you from everyone else.
A self-identity what makes us stand out as unique in this crowded world.

Once identity is threatened, you become:

- defensive
- non-productive
- resistant to change

What you think you become. Your thoughts shape your identity.

And in turn, your identity shapes your actions!
1. Define

Any object, in physics, has 2 factors:

- magnitude
- direction

Knowing where it's heading matters!

Your identity is your vector:

• your path
• your direction
• your destination

Note: what you do, why you do!

The identity helps you sharpen your answers in life.
The identity that you carry is your:

- personality
- uniqueness
- life goals & dreams
- distinct things you stand for

If you want to be successful, you can't go with the flow on everything.

Don't be someone who follows the rules.

Be someone with personality,

Identity!
2. Choose

Identity comes from choices:

- on a daily basis
- the actions we take
- time with people we spend
- the principles we prefer to defend

Whatever it is, you should choose to build to an identity that signals to the world your:

• core values
• unique choices
Remember:

You always have a choice

Take ownership for your:

• choices
• actions
• thoughts
• decisions

You shape your own identity

That has nothing to do with genetics or inheritance from your parents

Don't blame others for life failures!

Learn to steel your nerves!
You create your own reality.

You're the captain of your ship and the master of your fate:

- define identity
- understand uniqueness
- provide value, win in your MIND

You need critical thinking.

3. Reinvent

Life moves quickly.

Decisions you take and the choices you make will impact your life.

At some point, you may feel stuck and ask: “Is this it?”

The choices you make always have consequences. Change is inevitable.

But you can “reinvent” yourself.

Change vision.
Wrap Up:

1. Define: Know where you're heading
2. Choose: Build a new identity
3. Reinvent: Unlearn things

Change is inevitable.

To gain a new identity, you need a different approach.
