The Moving Target of You

This was originally written on andrewsridhar.com a year ago.

I’m on vacation in Europe this week but take your and my budding relationship seriously. So I’m excited to drop you a short something to think about.

It might mean all the difference.

Who Is 'You'?

Being authentic is critical. But so is personal growth.

The two can be at odds: Our mind is flexible.
(And everything in life comes from the mind.)

So, that means that who you are is almost completely flexible as well.

The big question: Should you be true to your current self — or your future ideal self?

What I’m contemplating: Possible frameworks for navigating this dilemma on a day-to-day basis.

Shoot me a line with your thoughts. I’d love to incorporate them into the podcast and newsletter.

❤️ Andrew
