What shapes your world? The answer lies in how you see yourself. I took a deep dive into a simple yet transformative idea: people follow through on who they believe themselves to be. Whether you're climbing toward your dreams or navigating life's challenges, the way you view yourself will always dictate your actions, and those actions shape the reality you live in. This isn't abstract—it’s a roadmap. When you redefine how you see yourself, you align your habits and choices with that vision. It’s a cycle of belief, action, and outcome that can open doors to your highest potential. Let’s explore how shifting your identity can shift everything. Who do you believe yourself to be?

People always follow through on who they believe themselves to be. There's no other way to put it. That simple idea has drastically changed my life. It doesn't matter what season of life I'm in or what path I'm walking down. How I view myself at that time is always directly proportional to the outcome. And when you think about it, it's not magic.
You can unpack it in a very practical, pragmatic way. How you see yourself determines how you act, and how you act shapes your reality. Runners don't break weightlifting records, and bodybuilders don't break running records. These characters identify themselves a certain way, and so every day breathe life into that identity. They follow through on who they believe they are.
So, quick personal anecdote. I've started calling myself the best speechwriter on planet Earth. You could hear that and think, well, how audacious, how pretentious. Really, dude? You've never written speeches for presidents or world leaders. The reach of your words pale in comparison to even some current podcasters and YouTubers, public speakers. But here's the deal.
If you don't believe yourself worthy of something, if you don't pick out the shoes that are, let's say, a few sizes too big, you'll have nothing to grow into. See, there's power in saying you're the best because, again, we tend to hit the targets that we aim for. I don't have time for this cross my fingers and we'll see stuff.
And this is, in my mind, incredibly relevant to you and your pursuits, whatever they are. Because when we're not yet there, we tend to be timid in our approach, right? It's like, who am I to do X? Why should I think I'm good enough to do Y or Z? No, stop and own it. That's perhaps the most important thing I've learned over the last 10 years of life. And I'm not talking about feigning competency.
I'm talking about simply owning the pursuit and acknowledging that you will be where you most need to be if you trust yourself. If you show up like you are that person, like you are worthy. One of my favorite sayings, walk into every room like God sent you and why shouldn't you? Way back, maybe 2014, I heard Tony Robbins say, if you believe yourself a smoker, you'll never quit smoking. Period.
And to be clear, I'm paraphrasing, I don't ever want to misquote someone, but think about the idea, right? It's like, I'm a smoker, but man, I'm hoping this patch will work out. No. If you believe in your mind that you're a smoker, guess what you'll do the second things become challenging? Revert back to your old ways. That is, after all, who you are, right?
Or another relatable one, that phrase we've all heard it, I'm not a morning person. I don't wake up early. I don't do mornings. Sure, there are some biological preconditions, right, for those who perform best in the a.m. versus the p.m. But let's be real. If your life depended on it, are you telling me you couldn't wake up early?
If everything was on the line, would 5.30 or 6 be an impossible task? Of course not. It's just that when that alarm goes off and you view it as a reach or a stretch or an I hope so or out of character, forget about it. Your brain's gonna remind you you don't do well in the morning anyway. You'll roll over and the rest will be history. See, the point is It matters how you see yourself.
