If you were asked to describe who you were, what would you say? What would be the definition of who you are? What is it exactly that defines you as a person? I ask myself that question sometimes…. I still can’t find a definitive statement that sums it all up.. But I DO know that there are some things that most certainly DON’T define who we are as a person.
Here are some I things that to me, have no bearing on how a person is defined:
- your job
- how much money you have
- what brand of cloths you wear
- what phone you use
- what car you drive
- Who you know
- Who your father is
- How popular you are
- How many friends you have on Facebook
- The title (if any) before your name
- Your paper qualifications
- The company you work for
- How many subordinates you have
- How polished you are
-
And things that possibly DO have some bearing are (in no particular order):
- Things you enjoy doing that have no financial benefit
- The friends you keep
- The friends you DON’T keep
- Your values in life
- Your decisions in life
- How you treat your family
- How you treat you friends
- How you treat strangers
- How you treat your ENEMIES
- What you do when no one is watching
- How often you keep your word / promises
- How often you forgive others
- Sacrifices you make
- Your relationship with God
- Your passion
- Your hobbies
-
It’s not a complete list…..…you got anything else to add?
