Create the person you want to be
We all grew up to realize that life has its own way of creating us to become who it wants us to become and not necessarily who we desired to be.
Some of us as kids desired to grow up and build stuffs that will help humanity. But as we grew up, we got hit by life's challenges, this distorted our general view of life and reformed us in another way.
We began to see liars and cheaters living a more comfortable lives. We began to see con men finding their way to the top easily. Everything starts looking like life is pushing us so hard to become who we never planned to be.
However, if you earnestly desire a happy life, you must free yourself from the grip life has placed on you and start creating the person you desire to be.
Creating the person you want to be
Creating the person you want to be is not an easy process, but it is achievable and the best gift you can ever give to yourself.
To effectively create the person you want to become, you have to first study yourself and understand why you behave in certain ways. Ask yourself what you want and who you really want to be. Then start a process of unlearning those things that make you behave in ways that are not in line with who you want to be.
After that, start making a conscious effort to shape your character by deliberately and constantly practicing the behavior that fits the personality of the you that is in your mind. When doing this, you must make a decision not to allow other people's perception of life or character influence you.
Creating the person you desire to be is not something that can be achieved in day. It takes hard work and persistence, but the reward is worth it.
Much love from me to y'all.

Well said @ogoowinner! To be who you want to be, you've got to be focused on maintaining or following your ideals. You've also got to be able to drown out the voices of nay-sayers. "This Is Me" is one of the songs in the soundtrack for the movie, "The greatest Showman" and it's message is in perfect sync with this article. Cheers!
Thank you for reading and commenting @mosunomotunde. I may have to watch that movie.
It's not easy becoming who you want to be or you dream of being in life... It takes persistence, it takes courage, it takes believe, it takes going out of your comfort zone, it takes action... And it takes time, most people give up in the process and don't attain there proposed dream, others join others in achieving their dreams.. It's only he who has resolute focus and untiring determination, consistency and persistence that could be what he dreams of being...
"Never be afraid of dreaming whatever you can dream of you can achieve"
Nicely written @ogoowinner.. Keep it up.
I love this quote. You either work to achieve your dreams or life places you in position to work with other people to achieve their own dreams. Thanks for this comment @ozurumba.
You're most welcome @ogoowinner have a blessed day!
@ogoowinner nice article, sure it requires hardwork and commitment and a lot of discipline to able to be who you desire to be but I want to ask, is really advisable for one to keep ones desires and aspirations of tender age up till grown up. Because I believe when u are still young there are a lot of things we don't understand until we grow up. So definitely aspirations will change
I used that as an instance. However, kids have an innocent mind that believes everything is possible, but as they grow up, the world begins to tell them what is achievable and what is not (although they are wrong most times) and begins to plant some good and evil seeds in them.
Holding on to one's childhood dreams cannot be said to be good or bad.
Great, thought as much

A lot easier said than done, but very possible. I recently spoke about willpower and how we must learn to build it. I want to look back a decade from now and have absolutely no regrets
Thanks, @ogoowinner for speaking into my life, life pushes hard and sometimes it ends up pushing you around to be just like another person but with the message, I have learned it does not matter if you take a different route from other people but what matters Is you being who you want to be and taking the right decision
Wow, great post.
I call this Intentional success borne out of intentional character building.
When people stop living their lives on autopilot and begin to intentionally do things that promotes good character, then we'd have a better society that won't fold their hands and blame the adverse situations for living a life void of good character.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless you immediately
Life is all about leading your passion with full enthusiasm without any worries
Muy buena reflexión... para ser quienes queremos ser debemos enfrentar las adversidades y superarlas manteniendo una actitud positiva ante la vida y fijando objetivos claros! Éxitos!!!
