Definition

I was recently in a conversation about what defines you. And the person I was speaking with spoke at length about what she does and how that defines her. And I couldn't help in thinking that this person has cause and effect backwards. To me what you do does not define you it is an effect of what defines you. Bythat I mean, how and what you choose to do are a result of your character, ideals, morals etc. So if you are defined about what you do, you are allowing yourself to be defined by something outside of yourself and is just ass backwards. But I guess the people that are crushed by a failed relationship, or a disolved marriage or being fired from a job are defining themselves not interenaly but externally. So define who you are independent of the external and then you can mold the external to your wishes, sound new agey but I think it will make you a hell of alot happier.

Hope you are all well,
Cheers
