We are what we do

I fully agree with this statement. It is very true. I have always been amazed at how people conform to the things they do. This statement plays a big role when it comes to your work life as well. People definitely become “what they do”.

I’m sure that we can think of one person in every profession possible that have become so involved with what they do that they live it outside the workplace. Take the communications expert, they live, eat and sleep communications. The editor of a bicycling magazine that rides a bicycle. The editor of a health magazine that conforms to what they teach other people everyday and starts looking after herself and ser body. The journalist that’s always looking for a story. We conform because this is the place where we spend most of our time and it’s almost a must to live the brand.

We do it too. I mean I work for a publishing company that publishes health magazine. I’ve now started going to the gym and eating “healthier”. Maybe I’m conforming or maybe I’ve just had my eyes opened to the risks that I wouldn’t have known unless I had worked here.

The things around us definitely influence us in certain ways so yes we are definitely what we do

We are afraid of the wrong things

Is it at all possible to be afraid of the wrong thing. In the world that we live in today I won’t be surprised if anyone isn’t afraid of any possible thing they could be afraid of. Does that make sense? With all the things we have to live with today, such as drugs, crime, death etc, I’d be quite scared of what is in store for us.

Okay, The above is physical things that we experience and see every day, so it is obvious when thinking about that to say what I have just said above. However there are other things that we go through daily that could justify the statement that we really are afraid of the wrong things.

For instance, people are afraid to love again after being hurt (soppy I know but true, but why lose your faith in people.), people are afraid of the world coming to an end , people are afraid of their mother in laws, the are afraid of getting stuck without petrol or even driving in the rain and even taking public transport. I feel that these things are really the wrong things to be afraid of, its things we have to live with and get over.

I think once we overcome our fear of the unknowing life could be pretty good. And once we start being afraid of the right things, we will be more aware of the wrong things to be afraid of.
