    I often say: "The things that you do are what you want to be doing." I believe this. I also believe that coming to terms with this gives a very useful understanding of yourself.

Yes. I live by this both in regards to my behavior and when assessing others and their priorities. If you really wanted a job in graphic design, then why haven't you worked on your portfolio all week?

That rule is a rule to live by. And if you ever want to be a different person - well then - start spending your time the way a different person would.
