You are what you do

I just made 39,000 burpees this morning. My current burpees focused lifestyle is really cutting into other fitness endeavors.

I've always thought of myself as a runner. I ran a lot and it was a part of who I was. Due to injuries the fact is most of my running is behind me.

Someone (probably several people beginning with the early Greeks and Chinese) said "You are what you do". I guess that makes me a burper. I need to get a new hobby.

More importantly, are we givers or takers. Frankly I've found many excuses over the years to not give - having young children, buying a house, saving for retirement, etc. While I am still a work in progress, I find that the more I give, the more I receive. Funny how that works.

The world is changed by our example, not by our opinion.
