Do Not Let the Role Dye You
from The Sound Around Us!
The role you have can shape you. A job can teach you discipline. Leadership can teach you responsibility. Parenthood can teach you patience. Being a partner can teach you compromise. But there is a danger in allowing a role to become your entire identity. Do Not Let the Role Dye You explores what happens when the responsibilities we carry begin to change how we see ourselves. You are not only your job. You are not only a partner. You are not only a parent, leader, employee, provider, or caretaker. A role is something you occupy. It is not everything you are. Sometimes the expectations attached to a role can slowly become so familiar that you stop questioning them. You become the person everyone expects you to be. And eventually, you may forget who you were before the role existed. The answer isn't to abandon responsibility. It's to remember that responsibility should be carried by a whole person. Keep your interests. Keep your friendships. Keep your curiosity. Keep the parts of yourself that don't serve a practical purpose. You can take a role seriously without allowing it to consume you. Because when the role changes — and eventually it will — you should still know who you are. Do Not Let the Role Dye You.
