My son posted this question on his Facebook wall early this morning. I think it is a question everyone of us has asked ourselves at one point in our own lives and quite possibly more than once. Ridicule and condescending attitudes towards each other is a major cause for asking ourselves this question, along with our own lack of knowledge of who we really are and who we are wanting to become is another.
The truth is we know who we are by our own beliefs or convictions. We live by these beliefs and convictions because we learn them from our own experiences. These experiences we go through cause us to re-evaluate and make changes. Change is inevitable and to change for the better is necessary for true growth. It’s all a part of growing up and I think none of us really ever grow up because we never stop learning until we leave this earth.
People, they are all around us and there is no getting away from them. But we do have a choice of who we desire to be around us. Surround yourself with those who truly accept you as you are, but will never lie to you, even if the truth is harsh. But remember the truth is in the heart of the beholder. What truth that may pertain to someone else, may not to you. Surround yourself with those who will build you up and help you to make those changes for the better. It’s good for the spirit. It’s good for the soul.
