You Are What You Do

This is a simple concept that confuses a lot of people.

If you wait tables but dream about being a musician, you are a waiter and not a musician. If you write songs but never perform, you are a writer and not a performer.

I have met many musicians who claim to be performers at heart but never perform.

If you are deluding yourself about who you are or what you do, there are two things you can do to change things.

You can refine your perception of yourself to fit what you do. Come to terms with how you actually spend your time and what it says about you.

Or you can change your actions to fit your perception of yourself. If you consider yourself a musician and a performer, prove it.

Talk is cheap and everyone does it. Like I have written before, actions sing louder than words.
