Absolutely true Nylon12. A different version of this same quote is that you are either working to fulfill your own plan or purpose or someone will have you working to fulfill their plan or purpose; choose wisely.
You are ever evolving so your public perception to others is always in flux. As life happens and learning expands so does our world. The world would judge me right now as a grumpy old lady. Today they would be correct. Six days away from a major move, house in turmoil, boxes everywhere and eating fast food. What they wouldn't know is the cause behind it, just the projection. Which hopefully won't be the same 1 month from today. Key word - hopefully.
GlassLass - As a practice, I try to not form specific opinions based on single interactions as I very seldom know that background of what led to that point. That said, the more data points I have, the more I am able to form an opinion.
True words, TB. My fifth grade teacher asked me a question about following the crowd. My answer wasn't acceptable to her. That started me thinking. By high school, her question was bearing fruit. After I graduated, I was cutting my own path, fairly comfortable in my own skin. She really made an impact on my life with that one little interaction. I missed telling her how much she influenced me by a month.
Comments are welcome (and necessary, for good conversation). If you could take the time to be kind and not practice profanity, it would be appreciated. Thanks for posting!
A good many times "The World" ain't accurate and it has an agenda.

ReplyDeleteSTxAR - We do not always get to see the benefits of the seeds we may plant in others. That said, we should still continue to plant them.
