You Can Be More Than One Thing (A Reminder)
I was recently doing a Headspace meditation, and the idea of identity foreclosure came up. This is the tendency that many of us have to attach ourselves to one identity or role over our lifetime without exploring other options. Interestingly, it was something that had already been on my mind a lot.
“Accept that you are a work in progress, both a revision and a draft: you are better and more complete than earlier versions of yourself, but you also have work to do. Be open to change. Allow yourself to be revised.”
