Claiming Life: Who and What You Want to Be

“A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.” – Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel said it straight. Be who you are. Go after what you want. No apologies, no excuses. That’s the path to freedom. It’s simple, but it takes grit. To claim life, you have to know yourself and chase your dreams like they’re the only things that matter.

Who You Want to Be

Becoming who you want isn’t easy. It takes looking inward, standing firm, and shaking off the expectations that weigh you down.

1. Define Yourself First

Forget the labels. Forget what they say you should be. You’re more than a title, more than a role. Know who you are deep down. That’s your starting point.

2. Embrace Your Imperfections

Chanel didn’t live a perfect life. She didn’t need to. Her flaws taught her more than her successes ever could. Own your scars. They make you strong.

3. Build Confidence Daily

Confidence doesn’t just appear. You build it. One action, one step at a time. Stay true to your passions. Do the hard things. Confidence will follow.

Becoming yourself is a fight. But no one can take that from you once you know who you are.

What You Want to Achieve

What you want is yours to decide. Dream big. Act boldly. Redefine success so it fits your life, not someone else’s.

1. Start with Audacious Dreams

Chanel didn’t just design dresses. She rewrote the rules of fashion. She gave women freedom, power, and style. Don’t aim small. Change the game.

2. Take Purposeful Action

Dreams don’t work without action. Take a step. Then another. Even small moves matter if they’re pointed toward your goal.

3. Redefine Success Personally

Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s not just money or fame. It’s whatever makes you feel alive—building a career, raising a family, or changing the world.

When you go after what you want, you’re in charge. You write the story.

Claiming Life in Two Steps

To claim life, balance is key. Be who you are. Chase what you want. Do both. Chanel’s life proves that’s the way to fulfillment.

So ask yourself: Who do I want to be? What do I want to achieve?

Answer honestly. Then live like you mean it.
