These types of posts that deal with identity always bring me back to Paul Graham's identity post [1] and Bruce Lee's quote on limitation [2].

I feel that by being too focused on the identity, you fall in love with the action, not what the action does or can do. Like Ryan Holiday is saying, they don't write to say something, but for the sake of writing.

With Bruce Lee in regard, he went beyond his formal training in wing chun and studied other forms of fighting and also studied philosophy along with other topics. It seems beneficial to a person to seek out other interests and intertwine them, I feel that that's what creates more beautiful work.
