Day 326: On Your Deeds Determining You

Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds.

—George Eliot

 

327

You control what actions you take or don’t take, but in the long run,

the  actions  that  you  take  or  don’t  take  also  control  you  because  they

determine who you are.

As confusing as it sounds, there’s an important lesson hiding in there:

when pondering what to do or not do, ask yourself what the person you’d

like  to  become  would  or  wouldn’t  do.  We  define  people  by  actions  they

take,  so  if  you  change  the  actions  you  take,  you’ll  also  change  your  own

definition of yourself.

For example, a person who runs often is a runner, while a person who

constantly exposes themselves to danger for the fun of it is a daredevil. On

the opposite end of the spectrum, a person who sits on the sofa the entire

day  is  a  slacker,  while  a  person  who  never  stands  up  for  themselves  is  a

doormat.  The  primary  determinant  of  a  runner,  daredevil,  slacker  or

doormat — rather than a specific adjective or trait — is what actions they

take or don’t take.

Each action of yours, just like each thought or habit you have, has an

impact on the direction your personal change is going to take. Think beyond

the immediate consequences and consider each deed as a building block of

the  new  you.  What  actions  are  congruent  with  the  person  you  desire  to

become and what deeds aren’t ?

When thinking of the person you want to become in the future, along

with setting new goals, make a list of actions the desired “future you” will

engage in regularly and the actions that person will refuse to perform.

For example, if you want to become a more positive person, some of

the  actions  you’ll  engage  in  regularly  include  smiling,  laughing,  and

expressing  your  gratitude,  while  some  of  the  actions  you’ll  refuse  to

perform would be complaining, brooding, and criticizing.
