One such solitude led to the discovery of multiple versions of myself. This isn’t about resolutions or achieving the highest productivity using mental models for the best version of oneself. A little more introspection.
We are different when we are with family, friends, relatives, colleagues, acquaintances, strangers, and especially with ourselves. Our relationships with our family and coworkers are not the same. The most would have been witnessed by family and close friends, the best and most humble version by coworkers and superiors, and the worst by haters. Might be because of the expectations, culture, social norms or social conditioning. Enough that, when we’re by ourselves, are we truly ourselves? That, in which the brain highlights every mistake made since childhood, will be the worst.
Are we fake around people or multi-faced? Or Can we define ourselves as a whole irrespective of people and situations? I am not quite certain about it.
Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. –– Stephen Covey
How can one make wiser choices? There are a lot of mental models for making better decisions. So far, I’m learning from the mistakes that I have made.
People have unique personalities and may behave differently depending on their characteristics and tendencies. We are complex evolving individuals with many facets, layers of experiences, and feelings that cause us to behave in various ways depending on the situation. It is better to embrace different versions than to defend against them.
The best part is that enhancing ourselves and exploring who we truly are is an iterative process.
Ending this with a quote from
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man – Heraclitus
