🕶️ You Become What You Believe (You Are)

Ever noticed how we judge people not just by what they do — but by who we think they are?

Take this:

🏋️ X hits the gym every morning

🥗 Eats clean

🚶‍♂️Can walk up 5 flights of stairs without panting

💪 Looks like they’ve never met a potato chip

What do we say?

“Wow, X is such a healthy person.”

We don’t say:

“Oh, X probably has fit friends.”

Or: “X must be born with elite genes.”

Nope.

We say: “X is healthy.”

That’s identity at work ✨

🔄 Identity: The Invisible Engine

X doesn’t just do healthy things — X sees themselves as a healthy person.

That’s their core identity.

So what happens?

They:

✅ Prioritise gym time — even if it means waking up earlier

✅ Choose nourishing meals — not out of fear, but because it aligns

✅ Try new ways to move — for fun, for challenge, for growth

And yeah, it’s effort. But for X, it’s worth it.

Because every action reinforces the identity they’ve chosen.

🧠 So… Can We Hack This?

What if you flipped the script and adopted the identity of the person you want to become?

Want to start a side hustle?

🎯 Become a “businessperson” in your head — before you make a single sale.

You might find yourself:

📚 Reading about sales psychology

🎤 Practising how to talk about your product with more clarity

🧾 Tracking your numbers like a low-key CFO

The actions follow the identity 💡

💼 Another One: The Future Googler

Let’s say you want to work at Google.

Don’t wait for the offer letter.

👓 Start seeing yourself as a Googler now.

You might:

🧩 Solve logic puzzles in your free time

💻 Follow new tech trends out of curiosity

🧠 Constantly refine your code — even when it already works

And here’s the fun part:

Those habits? That mindset?

They’ll inevitably lead you toward the kind of person who belongs at Google.

🪞Your Turn

Pick a goal you’ve been flirting with.

Then ask yourself:

🤔 What kind of person already lives this way?

🙋‍♀️ What would they do differently today?

🎭 And can I start playing that role — even before the “title” arrives?

You don’t need permission to become that version of yourself.

Try it. You might just trick your brain into building the future you wanted all along 😉
