If you could be someone else for a day, who would you be, and why?

View all responses

Have you ever thought about who you’d be if you could step into someone else’s shoes for a day? Not just for the lifestyle or experiences, but to soak in their mindset, their drive, and how they tackle life? If I had the chance, I’d definitely choose to be Apolo Ohno.

Apolo isn’t just an eight-time Olympic medalist, he’s a perfect example of focus, determination, and not backing down from a challenge. What I find so inspiring about him isn’t just the medals, but the mindset behind them. He’s someone who sets a goal, sticks with it, and does whatever it takes to get there. That’s the kind of mentality I really admire and want to bring into my own life as I work on my own goals.

Right now, I’m juggling a few things I’m really passionate about, and the deadline is getting closer. It’s always a challenge to balance everything, but that’s where Apolo’s mindset comes in. It’s all about breaking things down into steps, staying consistent even when things get busy, and keeping my focus on the bigger picture.

He once said, “There has to be a vision, a dream, a plan. Then you chase that with everything you’ve got.” I really want to channel that energy and keep pushing forward.

If you could be someone else for a day, who would you choose? Would it be for their skills, their mindset, or just the way they handle life? And how can you take what inspires you from them and apply it to your own journey?

At the end of the day, we don’t need to be someone else to achieve great things, we just need to take the best parts of what we admire and make them our own.
