Does this sound familiar? You've been told that in order to grow and find fulfillment, you need to constantly strive, achieve, and mold yourself into what society deems successful. But despite your efforts, you still feel a deep sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. The pain of chasing after an identity that isn't truly yours is overwhelming. It's time to break free from the ineffective action of pursuing an external image of success. In this episode, my special guest JG Carter shares his personal journey from trapped in a success identity to freedom to live above the constructs the world tried to impose.
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Uncover the vital role of identity in shaping the trajectory of our lives.
- Probe into the unexpected and unintended ways success shapes how you see yourself.
- Understand that true identity is received, not achieved.
