Am I really who I want to be?

That's a question we all ask ourselves. Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives. Even after we finish school. Even after we get a job. Even after we’re making money.Here’s the truth. We exist on this earth for some undetermined period of time. During that time we do things. Some of these things are important. Some of them are unimportant. And those important things give our lives meaning and happiness. The unimportant ones basically just kill time. You still have a lot of time to make yourself what you want.

Up to you! Identity is a complicated subject. We continue to change and alter our identities throughout our lives, sometimes intentionally and other times not. Change is the one thing you can always count on. There may be things about your identity you don't like and want to change. You may have an ultimate goal you'd like to reach. Only you can answer that. Just don't forget what you do like about you. Promoting the positive will always be easier than erasing the negative. Whoever and however you are, you are worthy of love. So don't forget to give yourself some.

The best thing about "who you want to be" is that just like you, it isn't static! Who you want to be changes over time. It means that you're a human being and you are alive. If you want to be someone else, then you absolutely have the power to make whatever changes necessary in your life to become that other person.

Only you can answer that! You might find journaling or making a list can help you figure that out. What do you want to do with your life? What activities do you want to do? What job? What hobbies? Who do you want to hang out with? What kind of people? How many? How often? What do you admire in a person? What personality traits do you want to have? Questions like this can let you know what you want your life and yourself to be like. Then you can ask yourself where you currently are on those questions and see how you match up.

If you are happy with who you are, then yes. But if you are unhappy with who you are no. If you are unsure, there is a possibility that you feel there is something else missing in your life. Try and discover what that something is, if that is your situation. Good luck :)

It's a question that can only be answered with more questions: are you happy with what you have? Is there something more or something different that you desire? What is making you ask this question? Is something holding you back from pursuing your dreams and wishes? Only by asking yourself these questions and answering honestly you'll know the truth. Just remember that who you want to be has nothing to do with who other people want you to be.

Yes! And no. We live to get closer and closer to who we want to be, but if we ever got there, we'd be done, and then what would we do? We live to continuously improve; we can and should accept ourselves in the moment, but there's always something we can do better, and we should never be fully content when there's so much more to do and learn and see.

The only person who can answer that is yourself. You decide who you want to be based on your passions, interests, morals, and so much more. If you answer no, ask yourself why you aren't who you want to be.

Being who you want to be is finding out what comfortably identifies you as a person. It may be many things, or you may not choose labels and it could be nothing at all.
