Be Who You Want to Be

People say that you should be who you are. But I think you should be who you want to be. Not pretend to be something you're not, but become who you want to be. You may have been born, or learned as a child, a certain way of acting. That doesn't mean you have to act that way the rest of your life. Hopefully, you have learned not to throw tantrums or cry when you're frustrated (or at least not as often). Just because you have become an adult doesn't mean that you can't keep growing and learning. You may have a natural tendency to do things a certain way. A personality test may show that you have a certain profile. It doesn't mean anything. It's a snapshot of where you are now. It's a tool you can you use to understand yourself. Don't let it hold you hostage. Don't let anyone use it against you. You still have a choice about what you say and do, and it's your choices that matter.
