So this morning after gathering Zane’s things and making my PopTart I headed out to drop Zane off and get to work. Since I was so all over the place this morning I forgot my key to the office. Crap. So now I am waiting for Torrey to get to work so that I can get into the office. So while I was waiting I picked up a book out of my bag that I frequently read all the time to energize me. As I was reading something hit me this morning pretty hard. Ouch. Here is the statement:“Talk less about your identity and do more to define, live and believe it.”
This statement hit me because I always have a hard time explaining to people what I do. I normally tell people that I am a designer and an artist. Since I got my new job I truly believe that I am living up to that statement on the design end. My work environment is amazing and is truly focused on doing rather than talking about it. Although sometimes clients get in the way. Now for the artist part. I really don’t feel like I am living up to that part of my identity. I have in the past I think but lately I have really neglected the artist side. I need to stop talking and do...
Is there a part of your identity that you talk about more than you really are doing?
Here’s to doing rather than talking.
Cheers.

Music: I say I play piano and Guitar... the truth is I play three songs on piano (not perfectly either), and couldn't really name a song that I play on guitar as I just strum and make up chord progressions. I wish I had more time... life gets in the way.
Trying to figure out that doing part right now babe! Thanks for listening to all my crazy ideas!
Really enjoyed that thought, has got me really thinking!
Pat-this is great. I do that all the time - lots of talking, not enough doing. Thanks for the reminder. What's the book?
