Person help: Is there a difference in you between who you are and who you would like to be? - Help.com

I don’t know i think we all have goals or things we would like to achieve in our life, right now i can’t say i’m everything i would like to be. I think the person that i wanna be is me but it just requires alot of work to get there, there more so my goals rather than how i define myself. hope that makes sense.

I do think there is a difference, I think the person you want to be is defined by the person you are right now, the choices you make, the problems you face, how you handle adversity. I am not the person I want to be and I fear I dont have the strength to become that person. So they are 2 different people…

I agree, there is a difference. Each of us is who we tell ourselves we are. To explain, if you think you are a friendly person you become friendly, if you think you are a good listener you become one. Conversely, if we tell ourselves we’ll fail we do. We are what and who we tell ourselve we want to be. It’s like Dale Carnagie once said, tell yourself you are a success enough times and you’ll become one.

a resounding YES.

i fail so much. i am what i hate.

i screw up all the time.

when will the day come when i am who i want to be? i have no idea. but ill never stop striving towards it, and with a little help, ill see to it that i become who i want to be.

And as long as you don’t quit it’ll happen for you! Have you ever heard the saying you always get what you go looking for?

Who you are is based on the habits you have and actions you take on a daily basis.
Who you would like to be is only a dream, but not who you actually are. Who you are looks up to who you would like to be, but you would really have to change who you are in order to be who you would like to be. So there’s the difference.

some people are the same as who they want to be though amethysteria(they are who they want to be), so is there a diffrence for them?

There is a big difference between who I am and who I would like to be. Not necessarily in terms of success or whatever but in terms of happiness and confidence. I think most people have a tendency to think their lives would be better if they earnt more or were famous or whatever but in the end I think that you need to be happy in yourself otherwise none of that matters.

Often people confuse who they want to be with what they want to achieve but its not the same thing. You can have goals that you want to achieve but they arent the same as the person you want to be.

There is definitely a difference… I would like to be a strong, successful, happy person that doesn’t get upset easily and can let things just go… I am, wow, that’s a hard question… maybe that’s the problem, I don’t know who/what I am… I need to ponder this a bit.

brilliant question, sickofdoublestandard.

Life IS. Everlasting life is your goal if you value goals for without everlasting life there can be no goals to generate. The desire to live on gives you opportunity to have more goals…if one is not enough. Look into the future …ask God to give you understanding…trust Jesus…the Way the Truth and the Life…there can be no goal without good that Jesus offers…LIFE. Your desire IS. The DIFFERENCE between the desire that IS and what it will become is the responsibility of your choice. You make choices every day. Making THE choice that affects all other choices is the ULTIMATE responsibility to LIFE. You want peace?…You have to have LIFE…and you ain’t got life without truth. Do yourself a favor and be true to yourself and to ultimate Truth who is Jesus Christ. God is Truth. God is Life. God is Love. What you are asking is if you have in you the ability to acomplish your goal inside of yourself…this would violate time space continuum for you would be breaking various laws such as speed of light and being in two places at one time.
