"Well, you guys are all about average height" one of my buddies said to us.

"Hey," I protested as I stood up straight. "I'm not short."

In the process of unslouching, I probably grew 2-3 inches. Enough to go from average height to above average height. Not "tall" per se, but a bit above average.

My buddy looked at me, appraised me, and grunted.

"I guess you're right."

"Yeah man, just cause I slouch doesn't mean I'm short."

"You should stand up straight," he replied. "Girls like that."

😠😡

Girls like that? Girls LIKE that? What did this guy know? I just wanted girls to like me for who I was. And if I was a guy who slouched? They should like that!

Well, at the time, I failed to realize one critical thing - we're not static. Just because I slouched then doesn't mean that was who I was.

We're not fixed.

We change all the time.

Some times that change is as simple as standing up straight. Some times it's as important as finally thinking straight.

And some times it's as life-changing as finally playing yourself straight - following through on your commitments to yourself.

We're all changing all the time.

The most important question is NOT "who are you??"

The most important question is "who do you want to BECOME????"

... and if you're not sure? Drop me a line, I love to talk shop. 😊
