There is the saying "You are what you eat" which means:

If you consume nutritious foods, you shall become powerful. If you consume bad foods, you shall become weak and fat.

Perhaps we can approach this attitude to photography --

If you are what you photograph, by photographing what brings you joy will make you more joyful and happy!
