It’s so simple: but I wish I knew it
before....
Your actions do not define you - but you define yourself by your
actions. There are two ways to take this, both are true:
1) People see and understand you by your actions; they will try to define
you.
2) You see your actions, define yourself and act accordingly.
For 17 years I wouldn't let anyone define me. For 16 years I didn't define
me either.
For a long time, I really didn't like myself. Sometimes I really Hated
who I was. I just thought I'd always be kicking myself for something I'd done. It’s
who I was, who I’d always been. I hated being me - and I acted like it.
I watched people. Sometimes good people do bad things. Under the perfect
circumstances most people will do anything. I thought about how maybe there aren’t
naturally good and bad people, just people. Maybe you can pick who you
are.
Today you decided who you were from what you'd done.
Tomorrow you could define yourself as you want to be and then do as you are.
I've heard people say, "fake it till you make it." If this was what they were talking about - I had no idea. It took be this long to figure it out, but it was time well spent....
