1/ Don’t be yourself.

CREATE yourself.
2/🔎One piece of advice that I find totally confusing is “Be Yourself”

🤷🏽‍♀️What does that even mean?

🧚🏼There are way too many aspects to our personality—and also we are always changing. A belief we have this week can dramatically change by next year.
3/When I met @garyvee I asked him, “You say Be Yourself a lot...how does one do that anyway?”

💡He gave me the line that I remember to this day, “You decide what yourself is.”

Of course since I’m an engineer, I needed a formula for how to do this so here is what I came up w/
4/💱
1. Don’t worry about who you are today. You are not a monument, you can always change.
2. Decide who you WANT to be (skills, activities, personality etc)
3. Go do things that person would do for 3 months
4. Now you know who you are

👗Example:
5/ I wanted to be a fashion designer. I’d never gone to fashion school or even learned to sew! I committed to 6 months. I enrolled myself in evening fashion school and read 50 books on the topic. Watched YouTube videos on various skills 📚
6/In a year, I was an expert in all things design, patternmaking , draping, grading, creating a cohesive line, etc. I created 25 pieces from scratch and wore them everywhere. I was indeed a fashion designer🥻

Go forth. #DoTheThing. Create Yourself 💋
