The journey to becoming

ACT LIKE WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME

Becoming does not happen by accident, it is intentionally and deliberately crafted. If you want to become something, you have to start acting like what you want to become. Your actions shape your identity, and your identity shapes your destiny. If you want to be a leader, you have to start carrying yourself with confidence, make decisions with clarity, and inspire others with your vision. The gap between who you are and who you want to be is bridged by the choices you make in the present.

Acting like what you want to become is not about pretending or faking it, it is about embodying the habits, mindset, and values of the person you envision. Every small action, showing up consistently, speaking purposefully, and tackling challenges head-on, helps you build the foundation of your future self. The world does not wait for you to feel ready before you can take your place, it responds to how you show up. If you act with courage, discipline, and intention, you are signalling readiness to become.

Sometimes, you will doubt yourself; you will question your capacity, and competence; you will even wonder if you are making progress. Nevertheless, you should not allow anything to hinder your moving forward. You don't have to wait until the rain has fallen, and the grounds are soft. Prepare your ground now, bury your seeds today, and wait for the rain to descend upon it.

Start today, start now. Dress the part, speak the part, work the part. Surround yourself with people who reflect the qualities you admire. Every step you take in the direction of your goal reinforces the belief that you are not just dreaming, you are becoming. The future is not a distant horizon, it is built in the moments you choose to act like the person you want to be.

To a better you, Kamikun John.
