Becoming

Becoming is an ever-occurring phenomenon. Any person engaging in a pursuit registers changes in one's self-conception as one either progresses or runs adrift. One may have observed the trappings of the Ego in the course of becoming. There is a simple rationale behind it and it is that one hasn't diversified one's interests and pursuits. Ego gets defensive in case of limited pursuits as only one role/pursuit is all there is to base self concept on. All the more reason to segregate personal or professional lives, to organize one's activities around them. This approach makes one resilient in face of life or work. Success in one sphere can enable one to face failure in the other without loss of confidence.

Bonus:

The pursuit of diverse interests enriches our experiences and widens our horizons and also improves our perception.

Further, as a consequence it leads to character growth and increase in self-efficacy.

When we have a multifarious outlook towards life, our range of response increases. Not only us, but our families, friends, society and organizations too benefit from our growth. Thus, it can make our lives meaningful.
