We are what we do

Are we really what we do?  To a certain extent, yes!  We often make decisions that we don’t thoroughly think about before taking decisions.  Or sometimes we plan things carefully, but not necessarily in the best way.  Nonetheless, I believe that the decisions we make and the things that we do make us who we really are in reality.

Two scenarios come to mind, if you participate in unsavoury acts with unsavoury people, you may start to think, act and dress like them.  What people then eventually see is an unsavoury being that mixes with a similar crowd (after all you are the company you keep), your crowd in this case.  And then eventually, you are categorised as an unsavoury person by citizens and you end being comfortable with the form of living, until something changes that.

Another scenario is if you are always a positive, giving and over friendly person, who wants to achieve and get results; people will start seeing you in such a way. And you too, start feeling this way, as you exude positive energy.  What you do makes you who you are, and to a certain extent, how people view you, makes you who you are – for some anyway.

Next time, I advise you think thoroughly about your actions, association and change them if you feel like it.  But don’t do it for people, do it for you.
