“What you are is not who you are.” – adapted from conversation between Kobe Bryant and Arianna Huffington – NY Times, Sept 28th.
You’re not what you do. You’re not the label people stick on you.
What you do today, and every day, is but an expression of you. What you do is a role you play, and play well. It’s what people see. The role you embrace, the work you create, the accomplishments you realize are evidence of your genius, but they don’t define you. They don’t define you because your life is larger, with so much more than the limited evidence the world grasps.
Don’t let the world typecast you. Live beyond your label.
