I've been thinking a lot about who I am deep down. Where I'm going and what my true potential is.
At the same time, it's not about finding out who I am, but who I can become. Constantly changing, improving. Discovering my capacities. And maybe a part of that is actually deciding who I want to me.
Looking at my goals, about 4 of them lead directly to the big one "Become who I am".
1. Assume my life: accept choices and their outcomes. As long as those choices are made with a good conscious and I know they are the right choices for me.
2. Change my status quo: putting myself in different situations. Test other ways of living. See what suits me best.
3. Be more honest: accept who I am, what I'm capable of and not capable of. Act in a way that is truly me.
4. Do something difficult: again putting myself in different situations and testing myself. Always in the end to better know myself and then improve myself.
The best way to find out who I am is through new experiences. Putting myself in new and perhaps uncomfortable situations. I am about to embark on an incredible journey beginning with a complete and total change in my life and everything I've known. This seems to be a good time to really concentrate on changing for the better. Leave behind the habits of old and make new ones. Visualise who I want to be and adopt that person's behaviour.

I know what I want to say to this, and I know that you know it, so I won't say it, because I don't think I need to.
This is why you need a dictaphone. (that's not what I would have said BTW...)
Actually, I don't know what you want to say about this.
well, I would have said that it's great to hear you expressing what this means to you, this huge change in your life, and I love that you have given it so much time and energy and consideration.
I completely believe that change is a fabulous and invigorating part of life, diving headlong into the unknown, or sort of known, and finding more out about ourselves.
I suppose thats what I would have said.
