you are what you do

The past couple of weeks I have read or heard this quote a million times. I will take it as a sign that I should pay close attention to what it actually means.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.

Aristotle

It really made me think of what it is I feel that I am, and perhaps what I am not. Sometimes we need that out-of-body experience, or the like…to realize and evaluate where we really are on our line or S or fork in our lives. Lately I have not really felt myself all that much. I have not flown in over 7 months and the reason I have moved out here for is miles from achievement, farther than expected. I have not had anything to write, even though I swore that I will write once a day. Timing or feeling, either one is missing, never both at the same time.

All these things that I say I am and say that I do…I have not been and I have not repeatedly done in a long time. Now I don’t know what connection to make of that but it sure feels very grounding that in reality; I have not a clue on what I am really doing or what I’m doing it for.

But we will see.
