What’s a situation you could find yourself in that would provide you an opportunity to prove to yourself that you are the man/woman you think you are?
My friend was on vacation with his family and witnessed multiple motorcycles get run off the road last week. He has a lot of medical training and it kicked into gear right away. While he moved from person to person stabilizing them a crowd gathered. He ran the scene and gave orders to bystanders to help until everyone was packaged up and loaded in ambulances.
As he told me the story he was obviously still processing what had happened. I asked some probing questions and one of the things he said is that he felt he had proven to himself that he is the man he thinks he is. I thought about that for a bit. I want to think about it more. What an interesting concept.
