What Defines You?

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What defines me”? It certainly is an interesting thought. Some would potentially answer the question with a quick, “well it’s my job”, or “certainly my hair and clothes, my look of course.” What is it that you say?

To find ones own definition does require a bit more that a quick thought, more so it would be one that is sought over a bit of time. Pondering, and chewing on the idea is best. After some thought one could make a simple list on paper so that it can be seen and in some way digested. Viewing what our own thoughts of definition and then asking the question to oneself again in a bit different way, “Is this what defines me”? Once these thoughts are viewed and pondered again, it may be easier to boil them down to a few simple statements.

Since we all have a tendency to sit in judgment of one another, and if one dares, to ask another what they think defines them. For instance asking a family member, “What do you think defines me”? Have a paper and pencil handy, you may discover much more that you want. Certainly others perceptions may suggest what we portray of ourselves to others.

In short, what defines us is often what we feel is most important in our lives, and is what others see about ourselves. At least, to those who really see us.

What defines me? Well, I hope it is my smile that is encouraging others to smile as well. No matter where we are, and what we are doing, we should never forget to smile. We are alive.
