Part 3/5:
A valuable exercise is to reflect on the various roles one plays in life and to challenge the identity associated with each. For example, one might envision themselves as a loving husband or an attentive father rather than being associated with negative stereotypes, such as being viewed as a mobster. This shift in perception emphasizes the importance of leadership—not just in professional terms but as a guiding force in personal life.
By defining and internalizing the roles one wishes to inhabit, individuals empower themselves to hold themselves accountable. This kind of transformation is not solely the result of desire but comes from a conscious commitment to work toward this ideal self.
