Why MUST We Choose?

I’m sure you’ve been asked at some point in your life the defining question? So, what do you want to be when you grow up? Do you want to be A doctor, A lawyer, A teacher? What are you going to do with your life? The answer to that question is one many people wrestle with for years and for some all of their life. I think the real question isn’t what do you want to be when you grow up, but rather who do want to be when you grow up? Because there are many different ways that your life can express your “who” that doesn’t fit into being one single “what”. When people ask this question they are looking for a single categorizing answer. I don’t think we mean to catalog one another, but there’s safety in having a clear individualized answer to who someone is and we all like safety, right?
