Sample Book Insights:
#1 You must decide who you want to be before you can reinvent yourself. You get to decide who you truly want to be, and you do so with your own criteria. Most Americans have been conditioned to define themselves by their professions, even when their inclinations, desires, and skills aren’t necessarily in line with their job title.
#2 The exercise is to list all the roles and labels that you identify with, and then all the roles and labels that others know you by. You might be surprised at how different the two lists are.
#3 I had spent years and years believing that being an Olympian would be my primary identity, but it took me a long time to realize that the medals I won opened doors that weren’t available to most people.
#4 After retiring from skating, I struggled to find my identity outside of the Olympic sphere. I was still afraid of letting others down, and I forgot about me.
