“I am” and “I will be” occupy the same mind space but tell different stories. The first, “I am,” is an affirmation that grounds you in the present.
Conversely, “I will be” is a vision out on the horizon. It’s the promise of what you strive to become. While inspiring, it can sometimes hold you in a state of becoming an always-out-of-reach tomorrow.
Choosing “I am” over “I will be” can change perception into presence.
When you say, “I am successful,” you embody success now. This shift fosters a mindset where self-perception shapes reality.
In the currency of self-worth, ‘I am’ is the gold standard, while ‘I will be’ remains a promissory note.
Navigating between these expressions shapes who you believe you are and how you engage with the world.
Embrace “I am” to anchor your identity in the now, and let “I will be” guide.
