Positivity

"If you don't like who you are, first change what you do."
I don't know who said this but it made me think the other day. I still don't think I fully understand it. I get the idea of maybe changing what you do for a living to change who you are. If you're stuck doing something you don't like doing or don't find fulfilling, it's amazing the change you'll see in yourself if you switch to something maybe less consuming and more fulfilling. 

I just wonder if it's a catch22. Do you do things because of who you are or are you who you are because of the things you do??

I know one thing for sure, you are what you think. If you think you're useless, chances are even if you're not actually useless, you will start doing less and less and eventually become useless. People often underestimate the power of mind over matter. Try waking up for one week telling yourself that every day is going to be a great day and you are happy...you'll see what a difference you'll feel by the end of the week. This has been the only thing that saved me from complete depression many times. Because in the end it's not the destination that matters, it's how much you enjoy and appreciate the journey of life. 

Now go, think positive. As dumb as it sounds, it works.
