“Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way… you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions…”

–Aristotle, Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC – 322 BC)

Addendum…

“…a fool by performing foolish actions, a clown by performing clownish actions, a great performer by loving the rush of being on stage”

–David ‘checkerhead’ Aiken

Aristotle was talking about acquiring the particular qualities of being – ‘just,’ ‘temperate,’ ‘brave,’ but I think this concept of you are what you do goes beyond qualities to other arenas in life. You become the things you do, so choose what you do carefully then pursue what ever it is with passion and affection.
