Its easy to "become" something.
But so very hard to "be".
You become a student - but being one is - long and hard.
You become a wife - even longer and harder to be.
You become a mother.
But to really "be" a mother.
We all define these "beings" as something different - but even to live up to your own definition....
To become, - it requires no change, no work. You can "become" something overnight. Simply because you decide to.
To "be" however, calls in levels of integrity, and dedication, and even reputation.
It takes time.
It takes change.
People are always "becoming" movie stars, rock stars, policemen, teachers...
But "being" those things - few and far between are the ones who succeed.
What you have been, doesnt always determine what you will be.
What you are today, doesnt dictate what you are tomorrow.
What you wanted to become, doesnt equal what you will be.
Just a thought.
