We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.

We begin to find and become ourselves when we notice how we are already found, already truly, entirely, wildly, messily, marvelously who we were born to be.

What you see is what you make. What you see in a people is what you eventually create in them.

I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.

You become what you envision yourself being.

"We become what we think!" (Philippians 4:8,9)

I become what I see in myself. All that thought suggests to me, I can do; all that thought reveals in me, I can become. This should be man’s unshakable faith in himself, because God dwells in him. (Thoughts and Glimpses, Collected Works 13, p. 200)

We see things not as they are, but as we are. Because it is the 'I' behind the 'eye' that does the seeing.

What you see shapes how you change ... We tell ourselves a story of what our job is, what our company does, who the people we work with are - and that story becomes our reality. ...
What you see shapes how you change

You become what you give your attention to.

You become what you understand.

He became what we are so that he might make us what he is.

We are what we imagine ourselves to be.

We see the world not as it is, but as we are, or as we are conditioned to see it.
