“Every day we choose who we are by how we define ourselves. ”

Simplified Meaning:
Every day, we make decisions that shape who we are by deciding how we see ourselves. For instance, if you think of yourself as a hard worker, you are likely to take on tasks and put in the effort to do them well. If you see yourself as kind, you'll go out of your way to help others and show compassion. These choices and actions build your identity over time. For example, a person who sees themselves as an athlete will train regularly, eat healthily, and focus on physical fitness. By consistently making decisions that reflect how you define yourself, you reinforce that identity and live in a way that matches it.
