Becoming

You are becoming someone every moment of every day. Who you become is determined by the actions you take—large and small. Do you say hi back? Do you keep your promise? Do you lash out or take a deep breath? Every action is like laying a brick of an unmistakable shape on top of an assembly called “identity”. At any given moment, the person you are is the represented by the last several thousand bricks you’ve laid. Which means that whatever you did in the past is not nearly as relevant or important as what you choose to do now. Because that’s who you’re becoming. This is a public episode.
