choice of action
“The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action.”
-John Dewey
Your authentic life will continually evolve.
It’ll require you to evolve from the person you once were to the person you were meant to be. And then with experiences, meeting new people, and listening to your curiosity, you will discover new possibilities that you never knew existed.
It’s kind of like climbing to the top of a mountain, thinking you’ve conquered your greatest challenge, only to see a brand new landscape and world you couldn’t see before. With this new perspective, you see new possibilities and things to explore, so you keep pursuing.
Continuing to evolve with your authentic Self should not be viewed as tedious or exhausting; don’t mistake evolution and growth for a lack of contentment.
Your evolution should be exciting as you explore your interests, passions, and continue to live with purpose–your evolution is guided by your heart, not outside influences. As Dewey referred to it, your choice of action should be determined by you, communicated to you from the Divine through your heart and intuition.
I don’t know about you, but I sit here enjoying the present version of myself and am also excited about who I will evolve into in the future.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
JC
