Front: "Life is not about finding yourself — it is about creating yourself”
Back: “You cannot become what you want by remaining what you are”
This coin is about the radical responsibility of self-creation.
It challenges the comforting myth that we must “find ourselves” - as if who we are is buried somewhere, waiting to be uncovered.
Instead, it tells the truth: you are the sculptor, and you are the stone.
The image of a man carving himself from raw rock speaks volumes , transformation is not elegant or effortless. It’s gritty. Repetitive. Painful.
But also beautiful. Because the version of you that emerges is one you chose, not one you stumbled upon.
The phrase “Life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself” reminds us that identity is a decision repeated daily, not a discovery made once.
And on the reverse, the coin speaks with brutal clarity:
“You cannot become what you want by remaining what you are.”
Growth demands change. Elevation requires shedding old skin.
You can’t climb if you’re clinging to comfort.
This coin is a daily reminder that you have the tools, now you must do the carving.

The sculptor on the front doesn’t wait for permission. He picks up the hammer and chisel and begins.
That’s what this coin honors: not the final form, but the courage to shape it.
The message “You cannot become what you want by remaining what you are” is both a wake-up call and a challenge.
Gift this coin to someone stepping into the unknown, leaving behind a version of themselves, or building something from nothing.
It doesn’t promise ease, it promises power.
And reminds them that the most important project they’ll ever work on… is themselves.
