Don't Base Identity on Emotions

The things you choose to do, more than anything else, will shape who and what you become. For example, if I choose to exercise and eat healthy every day, I will become a fit person. Those choices will shape who I am and form part of my identity.

If instead, I give into my appetite and emotions which will inevitably compete with whatever resolution I might make to get in shape – like sleep in instead of going to the gym or start making poor eating choices, then I won’t achieve the goal of getting in shape.

What we do with our intellect and our will is what determines who and what we are and it should be the basis for any identifying indicators for other people to assess us by.
