Day 83: On Changing Your Identity

Every time you make a decision to stick with your principles instead of

indulging your weaknesses, you get stronger spiritually. And eventually this

spiritual strength becomes a part of your identity. I don’t think of myself as

a nonsmoker or “ex-” anything, because smoking and other vices are things

I would never do in a million years.

—Frank McKinney

 

78

The only way to instill a permanent change is to change your identity.

As long as you define yourself by a behavior you want to eliminate, your

efforts to change will be in vain because subconsciously, you’ll treat your

changes as a temporary situation.

I don’t define myself as a person who doesn’t take drugs — I’ve never

done drugs and never plan on doing them. Why would I define myself as a

non-drug user?

In essence, that’s what people do when they say they’re ex-smokers or

ex-convicts.  That’s  behind  you.  Embrace  the  present  and  develop  a

different, positive definition of yourself that will explain who you are and

what  you  do  today,  not  what  you’re  no  longer  about  or  what  you’re  no

longer doing.

As a vegetarian, I don’t think of myself as a person who used to eat

meat.  I’m  a  person  who  eats  a  plant-based  diet.  It  doesn’t  matter  how

flavorful you tell me this piece of chicken is — I won’t eat it .

Your  decision  to  be  self-disciplined  has  to  be  equally  firm.  Don’t

define  yourself  as  a  person  who  used  to  be  lazy  or  lacking  discipline.

Define yourself as a person who’s doing his or her best to ensure the best

future  possible.  No  matter  how  enticing  the  temptations  are,  your  self-

definition will ensure that you’ll stay away from them.
