A few days ago, I saw something on Facebook that had this huge effect on me. It made me stop for a second and think about what it meant and how it speaks the truth.
"Whatever you put out into the world, will ultimately shape your identity."
Of course it will. But do we really know what it means and how it affects us?
The things that we do everyday, with or without other people, aid in our development as a person. Every action or thought that has been produced and shared is like a chisel that chips out a fragment from yourself, be it positive or negative. From these fragments you produce a sculpture which represents your identity. When people see the sculpture, they see who you are and what you are capable of as a person. This is where "impression" and "perception" come in.
I believe this is where the suffix "-er" and "-or" comes in. If you are an artist who loves to act, you are an "actor". If you are a person who likes to sell things, you are a "seller". This rule applies to most verbs, just like in a grammar lesson.
My point here is, do the things you do help shape the person you want to be or is it painting a different picture than what's on your mind? Do you realize that actions and thoughts affect how people perceive us? Did you create an obra maestra or a scrap of yourself?
If you think that you are creating a masterpiece, then you are in the process of making a better version of yourself.
