Over the years I’ve learned so much from others and I often find myself quoting them or providing their examples. Which is totally fine, and cool to pass on, but I have to stop sometimes and ask, what do I actually think?

Example: Neale Donald Walsch was a great teacher of mine. He would explain, "We are not what we do. People run around and do do do… and end up just sitting around in a big pile of do-do." And I agree, that can definitely happen.

I think what I liked most about his reference was ‘we aren’t what we do.’ I was still quite young and hadn’t made any big career decisions, so that comment felt good to me. Even now though, it’s a good reminder. And I would add to that - we aren't what we do, it's who we are being in anything we do.
