Who are you?

 So on Sunday, I got a call from my boss that I had to go with a client to check a site. 

Then I quickly got dressed up, wearing my complete site kit (including my safety boots) and I set out to meet the client. 

So on my way, while walking fast and looking for a bike, I met a bike man looking as if he was waiting for someone. Then he stared at me, and asked if I was a soldier. 

But instead, I just smiled and behaved as if I was actually a soldier. 

Then I told him my destination and without pricing the cost of the t-fare, I boarded the bike just as a soldier would do. 

I can’t really explain how and where the boldness came from because when I thought in my mind that I was a soldier, I started behaving like a soldier. 

For that few minutes that I was on the bike heading to my destination, I felt the boldness, the strength (if possible), the courage of a soldier. 

I felt the respect, the pride and I felt like no one could overpower me. 

I felt I could call anyone and speak to anyone and they would respect me even if I was saying rubbish to them 😌

If you know these feelings, you’ll understand better. 

All these boldness and strength and courage was how I saw myself in my mind and it affected the way I handled people and situations. 

One thing I learnt is that the way you see yourself is the way you’ll want others to see. 

The respect that comes with the mindset of who you are is what you expect others to give you. 

Your mindset about yourself goes a long way to affect your lifestyle. 

If you don’t believe in yourself, it will be evident in your behavior, which will in turn affect how others treat you. 

Your success story, the goals and vision is only a mirage if you’ve the wrong mindset of yourself.
