What happens when we look back at our younger selves with the wisdom gained through decades of experience? That's the question I explore after a thought-provoking conversation on the Younger Hunger podcast, where host Michael Burgess asked about my vision in my twenties.

The truth surprised even me as I articulated it: there was no grand plan. At 17, living on my own and selling counterfeit goods to survive, my vision extended only to making enough money for the next month. Without today's resources like YouTube or social media, without mentors or coaches, I was simply a lost boy trying to find my way—thinking I knew everything while understanding almost nothing.

Now at 44, I look back at that young man almost as if he were my son—with compassion for his mistakes and understanding that every challenge shaped who I've become. Those experiences weren't detours; they were the exact path needed to develop the values that define my identity today as a coach, speaker, and mentor. This transformation illuminates something profound about human development: our identity and what we believe we deserve are shaped by our values, which influence every perception, decision, and action we take.

Whether you experience a dramatic shift in values as I once did, or undergo the more common gradual evolution, understanding this principle can catalyze profound personal transformation. After spending four days studying axiology with my mentor Dr. John Demartini, I'm convinced more than ever that many people struggle because they're living according to imposed values rather than discovering their authentic selves. The question worth examining is simple but powerful: Is the image you hold of yourself helping you become who you truly want to be? If not, what needs to change?
