Hello and welcome back to Top 10s You
0:01
Should Know, the channel that helps you
0:03
upgrade your mindset, habits, and life,
0:05
one powerful truth at a time. Today,
0:08
we're diving into something that hits
0:09
deeper than just productivity tips or
0:11
motivational quotes. This is about
0:13
reinvention because sometimes what's
0:15
holding you back isn't your talent, your
0:17
resources, or your opportunities. It's
0:19
the identity you've been clinging to.
0:22
When you shift your identity, even
0:24
slightly, your whole world can begin to
0:26
change. So, if you've ever felt stuck or
0:29
like you're not becoming who you were
0:30
meant to be, this is for you. Here are
0:33
the top 10 identity shifts that create a
0:35
brand new you. Not just in how you act,
0:37
but in who you become.
0:40
One, from I'll try to I decide. Most
0:44
people walk through life saying I'll try
0:46
to be better or I'll try to start
0:47
tomorrow. But trying is rooted in doubt.
0:50
The moment you shift from I'll try to I
0:53
decide, your energy changes. You're no
0:56
longer flirting with progress. You're
0:58
committed to it. It's the difference
1:00
between someone hoping to change and
1:02
someone who has already made the
1:03
internal leap. Think of it like flipping
1:06
a switch. Deciding means cutting off
1:08
other options, removing the mental
1:10
backdoor that allows excuses to sneak
1:12
in. This identity shift alone builds
1:14
self-respect. You stop negotiating with
1:17
yourself.
1:18
You begin to trust your own word. And
1:20
with every decision made from that
1:22
space, you grow more powerful, more
1:24
disciplined, and more unstoppable.
1:28
Two, from I'm a victim to I'm the
1:30
narrator. Life throws curveballs, loss,
1:33
trauma, setbacks, and yes, some things
1:36
are absolutely not your fault. But
1:38
staying in the mindset of a victim where
1:40
life happens to you strips away your
1:42
power. The shift here is choosing to be
1:44
the narrator. When you're the narrator,
1:47
you still acknowledge the pain, but now
1:48
you control the frame, the meaning, the
1:50
chapter titles. You stop saying, "Why
1:52
did this happen to me?" and start
1:54
asking, "What do I do with this?" Now,
1:56
that subtle mental shift from passive to
1:59
author gives you agency. It invites
2:01
growth. You're no longer defined by your
2:04
wounds. You're writing what comes next,
2:06
and that makes you not just stronger,
2:08
but free. Three, from I need approval to
2:12
I approve of me. We've all been wired
2:14
since childhood to seek validation,
2:16
likes, praise, p acceptance. But when
2:19
your identity is rooted in approval from
2:21
others, you become a puppet to external
2:23
forces. You shrink your dreams, dilute
2:26
your voice, and live small just to fit
2:28
in. The identity shift is deciding that
2:30
your own approval is enough. Not
2:32
arrogance, but inner security. You stop
2:35
asking, "Do they like me?" and start
2:37
wondering, "Do I like who I am?" That
2:40
inner approval radiates confidence. You
2:42
speak more freely. You risk being
2:44
disliked because authenticity matters
2:46
more than applause. And ironically,
2:49
that's when people start respecting you
2:50
even more. You become magnetic because
2:53
you're real. Four, from I'm not that
2:56
kind of person to I can become anyone.
2:59
One of the most powerful prisons we live
3:01
in is self-labeling. I'm not a morning
3:03
person. I'm not good with money. I'm
3:06
just shy. Every time you repeat these,
3:08
you cement a story that may no longer
3:10
serve you. But what if those labels are
3:12
lies? The identity shift is letting go
3:15
of I am statements that keep you stuck
3:17
and replacing them with I'm learning to
3:19
become. Suddenly, you're not boxed in.
3:22
You're fluid, evolving, adaptable. This
3:25
unlocks massive potential. You're not a
3:27
finished product. You're a work in
3:29
conscious progress. And that's where the
3:31
magic lives. Five. From I'm alone in
3:34
this to I'm building my tribe. When
3:37
you're growing, you often feel isolated.
3:39
People around you may not get it. They
3:41
might mock your dreams, question your
3:43
moves, or guilt you for changing. But
3:45
the trap is thinking, "I'm all alone in
3:47
this." You're not. The world is filled
3:50
with people just like you. Driven,
3:52
evolving, seeking alignment. You just
3:54
haven't met them yet. The shift. Stop
3:57
morning who's drifting away and start
3:59
intentionally building your tribe. One
4:02
connection, one conversation, one
4:04
aligned human at a time. You become
4:06
someone who attracts growthminded people
4:08
because that's who you are now. And
4:10
suddenly it doesn't feel lonely anymore.
4:12
It feels like legacy.
4:15
Six. From I react to I respond with
4:17
power. Most people operate on autopilot.
4:20
Something triggers them and they react
4:22
instantly. Anger, defensiveness, blame.
4:25
But living in reaction is giving your
4:26
power away. The identity shift is in
4:29
slowing down, breathing, choosing your
4:31
response. When you're the kind of person
4:33
who responds rather than reacts, you
4:35
reclaim emotional authority. You become
4:38
grounded, unshakable. The storms come,
4:41
but you're the calm in the middle.
4:43
People notice it, respect it, and more
4:46
importantly, you respect yourself.
4:47
Because self-control isn't weakness,
4:49
it's power restrained. Seven. From I'm
4:52
hustling to I'm aligned. The hustle
4:54
culture glamorizes burnout, no sleep,
4:56
constant grind, endless output. But
4:58
often hustle is rooted in fear. Fear of
5:01
falling behind, of being irrelevant, of
5:03
not being enough. The identity shift is
5:06
choosing alignment over exhaustion. That
5:08
means doing less but with more purpose.
5:10
Saying no to what drains you. Choosing
5:12
peace over pressure. When your actions
5:14
align with your deepest values, you
5:16
create more with less force. You stop
5:19
pushing and start pulling things toward
5:21
you. It's not lazy. It's intelligent
5:24
intentional living. Eight. From I fix
5:27
myself to I love myself into growth.
5:29
Personal development is beautiful, but
5:32
it can turn toxic if it's rooted in the
5:34
belief that you're broken. I have to fix
5:36
this. I'm not good enough yet. But
5:39
growth born from shame leads to burnout.
5:42
The powerful shift. Start from love. See
5:45
your flaws, yes, but don't hate them
5:47
into submission. Love them into
5:49
evolution. When you nurture yourself,
5:51
encourage yourself, and cheer for your
5:53
own progress, you grow faster because
5:56
you're not fighting yourself, you're
5:58
partnering with yourself. and that feels
6:00
entirely different. Number nine, from I
6:03
chase goals to I embody my vision.
6:07
There's a huge difference between
6:08
chasing a goal and becoming the person
6:10
who naturally achieves it. Most people
6:12
set goals with the mindset that they'll
6:14
finally be happy, confident, or
6:16
fulfilled once they arrive. But here's
6:19
the catch. If your identity doesn't
6:21
match the goal, it'll always feel just
6:23
out of reach. Chasing goals often
6:25
creates a gap between who you are now
6:27
and who you think you need to be. And
6:29
that gap is filled with doubt, delay,
6:31
and burnout. The shift is subtle but
6:34
powerful. Stop waiting to become that
6:36
version of yourself after you succeed
6:38
and start embodying them today. Ask
6:41
yourself, how does my future self carry
6:43
themselves? What do they believe about
6:45
money, health, love, or discipline? What
6:48
habits do they repeat daily without even
6:50
thinking? Then start acting as if you're
6:53
already that version. Because your
6:56
identity is the thermostat of your life.
6:58
And the more you align it with the end
7:00
result, the faster reality catches up.
7:02
You don't attract what you want, you
7:04
attract what you are. When you embody
7:07
your vision, you send a powerful message
7:09
to your subconscious. This is who we are
7:11
now. And when your behavior, mindset,
7:15
and energy all align with that truth,
7:17
you'll be stunned at how fast life
7:19
starts moving in your favor. This isn't
7:21
about faking it. It's about activating
7:23
the future in the present. Because once
7:25
you do that, you don't chase goals
7:27
anymore. You become the kind of person
7:30
who naturally creates and keeps them.
7:33
10. From I survive to I create. So many
7:37
people wake up each day in survival
7:38
mode, just trying to make it to the next
7:40
paycheck, next meal, next moment of
7:42
peace. But survival is reactive. The
7:45
shift is choosing to create. creating
7:48
space, creating options, creating joy.
7:51
When you shift your identity from just
7:53
surviving to actively creating, you
7:55
become a force. You stop waiting for
7:57
good things. You build them. You stop
8:00
tolerating circumstances and start
8:02
designing them. Even in struggle,
8:04
creators find power. Because the moment
8:06
you say, "I can build something better,"
8:09
you've already started becoming someone
8:11
better. And there you have it. 10
8:13
powerful identity shifts that don't just
8:15
improve your habits, they evolve who you
8:17
are. Remember, your life always rises or
8:21
falls to match your identity. So, stop
8:24
trying to change your life from the
8:26
outside. Start from the inside. Rebuild
8:28
the core and the rest will transform
8:31
automatically. Which of these shifts hit
