You are who you are becoming

You are who you are becoming. Your virtue as a human individual is not related to any static, unchanging identity; it is about the person you are turning into—who you are today, as opposed to who you were yesterday, or could be tomorrow. You truly are, in Aristotelian terms, the life story you are writing through your actions and habits; as the historian and philosopher Will Durant summarized Aristotle’s view, “We are what we repeatedly do.” 

Research has consistently shown that when people see themselves as engaged in change and capable of progress, they are happier. You will have a better chance of realizing happiness if you can see yourself as a dynamic agent of your own progress.
