Decisions Decisions

sometimes i make decisions based on who i want to be instead of who i am now. like, "i don't know if i'm the sort of person who moves in this house, but i want to be that sort of person, so i'm going to do it" or, "I don't know if its my style to buy that purse, but i want it to be, so i buy it" or, "I want to be the sort of person who lives overseas for an extended time...so here I am." ect...anyway, recently on my way to work i was thinking about that pattern of making decisions but then i had this great thought...


Said Melissa to herself, "yup, sometimes you make decisions based on who you want to become more than who you are right now...but sometimes you get to just sit back and see who you are, and realize that you are the sort of person you want to be...."

Good light bulb moment, girl :) As I was reading, I was trying to figure out... is it ok to make decisions based on who you want to be... I know there are times when I try to be a personality I am not because I'd rather be that way, but thanks for sharing your insight :) love you more than pink toes
