5.24 Zig Ziglar: Who Are You Becoming?

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” - Zig Ziglar

Who are you becoming?

Dr. Jim Loehr is a sports psychologist who has worked with 10s of 1,000s of athletes. One of my favorite questions from him is, “Who are you becoming as a result of the chase?”

We all have goals that we are chasing, but the true value isn’t just about the end result; it’s about the growth, discipline, and transformation you experience along the way. As we work towards the goals we set, something deeper happens - we grow and build character.

Zig Ziglar was a successful motivational speaker. He once said, “What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” With every decision we make on our journey, we are deciding who we are becoming. Who are you becoming?

Every time you choose discipline over distraction, you are becoming someone stronger, more focused, and more capable. Every time you choose distraction over discipline, you are becoming less focused and further away from the person you can become. Reaching a goal might give you a reward, but the journey gives you so much more, including experience, wisdom, and memories.

So, again … Who are you becoming? Are you proud of the person you are becoming, or do you need to make an adjustment or shift? Are the choices you are making aligned with who you want to be?

Question of the Day: Who do you want to be, and are the choices you are making aligned with the vision you have for yourself?
