You don’t become known as the energetic one, the focused one, the creative one, the friendly one, etc by subscribing to that trait once or twice.
You become known as that because you’re “always” that way.
However you know that you’re actually not always that way. The truth is…
If you’re known as the energetic one, it’s not that you’re always energetic, it’s that your energy renews faster than is typical. So people notice.
If you’re the focused one, it’s not that you’re always focused, it’s that your focus renews quicker than is typical. So people notice.
If you’re the creative one, it’s not that you never get depleted (even daily), but your creativity renews faster than is typical. So people notice.
If you’re the friendly one…
If you’re the goofy one…
If you’re the tasmanian devil one…
We aren’t always that way. We are simply that way enough to be known for it.
We don’t need to define ourselves by that thing. But others defining us as such is simply a nod to our distinct ability and willingness to be renewed in a certain area that is unique to the world around us.
So perhaps better than the What am I best at? or What am I known for? questions…
What most quickly renews in you?
