It is important to start this journey by understanding who you are.
Why? Because accepting the reality of who we are will help us move ahead to become who we want to become. Sometimes this is not an easy journey, as we are not even aware of who we are, and most of the time we aren't ready for who we want to be.
Even before we jump into the discussion of what we want to be and how to achieve it, it is important to talk about our capacity. Individual capacity is one of the influential factors in being who we are. Once we identify our capacity, we can expand or contract it according to how much we invest in it. However, we need to understand at any given point in time what an individual's capacity is. How much can one stretch before one breaks at any point in time?
Once we identify our maximum capacity, the next question is, "Am I happy with this?" Will it be enough to be who I want to be? If the answer is "yes," go ahead and achieve it. Nonetheless, if the answer is "no," the question we need to ask is "how do I develop it."
It is a transformational journey with many emotions. Give yourself some time and allow yourself to feel.
