A Mark on Your Soul

How you live shapes who you are. What you do impresses a certain character on you. A farmer’s work makes him a certain kind of person. A professional video gamer’s work makes him another kind of person. 

And it is not just our work that forms us. Everything, from the people we spend time with to the technologies we use, creates who we become. The author of Atomic Habits put it this way: “Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become.” It’s mysterious how we are simultaneously the creators and the ones being created. 

This week, I invite you to examine a few aspects of your life by asking: 

How does this part of my life shape me? What sort of person am I becoming as a result of the formation this part gives me? 

God bless,
Dan
