Stop Willing, Start Being

When you rely on willpower, you are constantly "draining."  You are forcing yourself to do things that your current identity hasn't made automatic yet.  Every time you have to "force" yourself to hit the gym or stay calm in a crisis, you are pulling from a finite energy source.

Identity, however, is a motor.  It doesn’t drain; it runs.

What if you were convinced that you were the master of your mood and arbiter of your emotions? What if you knew no matter what, you are going to be your best self, have a great time, and be joyful; because you know that’s who you are at your core and that’s who you prefer to hang out with and present to the world?
Life is less tiresome when it’s fun. Engagement is energizing. Let’s be the magnetic personalities that we can’t wait to see every morning. It's time to be accountable to our own happiness.
