Creating Your Own Identity

You have the power to create your own identity, not the one society wants to impose on you. Think of yourself as an artist, constantly shaping and molding your identity to become the person you want to be. Arnold Schwarzenegger's book 'Total Recall' emphasizes the importance of starting with your desired identity and then taking the necessary actions to become that person. Schwarzenegger himself is a prime example of someone who has reinvented himself multiple times throughout his life, from bodybuilding to Hollywood stardom, politics, and entrepreneurship.
