Knowing who you are and thinking of what you want to be. Its about drive and determination and never accepting less than what you know you are capable of. I hope that answers your question...

Leave off "of building your identity" and ask simply,

What is the best way?

To be identified as a genuine soul who humbly seeks the best way is much preferred to the other alternative, which has as its hidden premise:

Accumulation of power is the best way.

Power may be obtained, but not for its own sake, and certainly not for the benefit of one who knows not its proper use.

Our modern conception of identity is the diluted bastard child of the ongoing attempt, initiated by a group of inferior Enlightenment philophasters, to artificially accelerate human mastery of nature.

IF YOU can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

“If-“. By Rudyard Kipling, 1895.

By eating good foods [you are what you eat - for instance, if you eat a lot of hamburgers, you will become a hamburger and that will be your identity in the end] and drinking plenty of fluids.

By being yourself, simply put.

What ever makes you sleep easier at night.
