Keith Craft: You are what you see you are.

The thought behind the quote

The way you see everything is determined by how you see yourself. Your perspective on life flows directly from your self-perception. Most people see reactively—they see based on what others see or say about them. It’s a default in all of us that forms from seeking validation, listening to opinions, and being influenced by the environment around us. When you allow other people’s perspectives to overly shape how you see yourself, you become reactive. You see everything and everyone through the lens of how others perceive you, or worse yet, how you think others perceive you.

The truth is, we don’t see things based on how things are; we see things based on how we are.
