Others will always try to brand you. Without conscious choice, the identities they craft for you can become yours.

So how do you choose to define yourself? When you consider yourself, where does your mind go? For many, the obvious answer is work. For others it’s family. Personal connection. Love. Travel. Experience. Creativity.

Never allow others to define you.

It’s easy to fall into unconscious patterns here and not realize it.

If you’re not strategic and assertive, if you don’t advocate for yourself and plan—it can be easy to follow a path set by someone else. This is a choice. And it’s one that can prevent you from exploring your potential.

Some ideas to challenge your patterns and find a fulfilling path:

1 ) Live in a world of possibility, and never give up.

“I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.”
