What Am I? Who Am I?
June 3, 2010
If it acts likes a duck all the time, it’s a duck. It doesn’t matter if the duck thinks it’s a cat.
It’s still a duck as far as the rest of us are concerned.
I find myself telling people to ‘be’ who they want to be. I also find myself saying ‘act’ like you want to be.
The problem with ‘being’ though is it’s too ambiguous. What does ‘be’ actually mean? ‘Act’ on the other hand is actionable.
Doing is possible. But ‘being’?
You could spend your time wondering if what you say you are is really you. Or you could just act like that all of the time.
Thoughts? I'd love to hear them! Share them with me on Twitter or on our feedback page.
