Identity Shapes Destiny
You don’t get your goals—you get your identity.

“The quickest way to change your life is to raise the standard of who you believe you are.” — Brendon Burchard
Your behaviors will always default back to your identity.
You can hustle and try harder, but if you still believe you’re “average,” you’ll sabotage yourself back to average.
Real change comes when you upgrade identity first.
By deciding “I am disciplined, I am healthy, I am consistent,” you set new non-negotiables that drive lasting transformation.
Today’s Action:
Write down three “I am” statements that represent your future self. Speak them daily with conviction.

📓 Journal Prompt
What identity am I releasing, and what identity will I practice stepping into this week?
Brendon explains how identity drives standards, standards drive behavior, and behavior drives results. Most people try to achieve goals while clinging to the same old identity, which creates self-sabotage. He shares examples of how high performers make identity shifts—deciding “I am the type of person who…”—and then aligning daily actions to reinforce the new identity until it sticks.
Shift identity, shift everything.
