III.Hello. Who am I? I'm a lawyer. Right?I don’t look at myself as a basketball coach. I look at myself as a leader who happens tocoach basketball.--Coach KIt's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.--Muhammed AliWhoooooo . . . are you? Who who ... who who?--The WhoAt the risk of venturing into what may seem like self-help schlock, please humor us byanswering a question that lays at the foundation for finding balance. If someone asksyou who you are, what is the first thing you say after giving your name?Take a moment and answer that question. (Task completed? Now read on.)Does your occupation come first? Or the fact that you are married or single? A parent?A Christian, Muslim, or Jew? A Democrat or Republican? A native of your hometown?A fan of your college sports team? Does your answer simply take into account thecircumstances you are in? "I'm an attorney with [insert firm name here]." Or "I'm Kacie'smom." Or "I'm a Duke Blue Devil." Or "I'm a volunteer with the Food Bank today."Have you considered the proposition that you are not your job or even a person definedby your relationship with others? You may say, "Of course, I'm not my job. That'sridiculous." Ridiculous? How much of your waking resources do you commit to yourjob? Greater than 75%? Likely yes for most attorneys.12
