I am what I am, am I?

Long have I said

“This is not WHO I AM,

this is WHAT I DO”.

And yet, at this big age, I’m reconciling a shift of beliefs and a call to challenge old paradigms.

We can hold fast to ideas of who we BELIEVE ourselves to be, but in truth:

Are we not the actions we do daily?

Our regimens, rituals and habits

create the fabric

of who we are.

NOT who we SAY we are,

or even who we WANT to be.

Therefore…

You ARE what you do DAILY.

Not necessarily your PROFESSION,

but your PRACTICE.

So I find myself askin’

If not my life’s work …

Who am I?

I’ve come to realize I stand

in the center of a vendiagram

of who I was, who I want to be and

WHO I AM…..

If the equation is that we are the sum of the actions we do daily …

I’m realizing

I have distances to reconcile.
