We're all familiar with the Gandhi quote "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
A close cousin of this idea is:
Feel the difference between:
"I'm trying to run at least three times a week."
and
"I'm a runner."
"I hope I get an A in this class."
and
"I'm an A student."
"I'm trying to cut out carbs to lose weight."
and
"I don't eat sugar."
Until you make that mindset shift, the goal is something external to yourself. But once you become your goal, you are simply following your inner nature.
