Things That Define You...

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?
