The Alter Ego Effect
Imagine becoming a hero in your mind
Imagine becoming the person you always wanted to become, rising above your self-limiting beliefs, and conquering every obstacle in your way.
This picture of yourself was probably someone that you currently are not. But that is the power of an alter ego, where the person you think about is also the person you are working to become.
An alter ego doesn’t have to be someone beyond your physical reach. It could be someone that you are striving to become every day.
Consistent daily effort is the key to realizing this future version of yourself. Hold steady the picture of who you want to become and work relentlessly until that person is you.
The hero you want to become is on the other side of deliberate effort.
The Alter Ego Effect is a book by Todd Herman about creating an alter ego that is powerful, capable, and willing to do things that you cannot. This ideal person is created to put your frame of mind in a position of power, a state that lets you do remarkable things.
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you want to become.” — James Clear
