PERSONALITY PERSONIFIED
Are you living a “Cookie Cutter” kind of life? Does your home have standard boundary lines? Does the architecture of your neighborhood look very similar? Is your vehicle less than five years old? Does it match the style of your neighborhood or profession? Do you dress like a rubber stamp of the new styles? These questions could be endless but let me ask one more. Are you being yourself?
If you become a “student of life” (daily living with amusement and an open mind), wake up calls will come from time to time… Another “wake up John” (sounds like a sleeping restroom!) came to me after moving out of state for a few months and then returning. I had been a cookie of various shapes for more than thirty years! In a self-analysis of all those years: Trends, cycles, styles, politics and laws of Society engineer the shape of the “cookie cutters.” The sad part of this, the individual personality becomes stifled or sabotaged. It was time for a change…
A personality is nothing more than your character on stage. You can act only so long before something starts to react. Become aware of self-flagellation! The person who learns to develop a pure personality will be less stressful while living a healthier and happier life. Real People will also serve as an example of loving and caring individuals. Look for Real People friends!
Try this visual metaphor, in your town, walk (do not drive or run) a mile or two for three days in a regular residential area that has been constructed with in the past forty-five years. Then do the same thing in an older part of the community where the homes were built from the thirties through the fifties. You decide which of the two areas have personalities. If you are a “couch potato,” checkout the video “Picture Perfect” with Jennifer Aniston. It has an interesting message, too.
After your leg work (pardon the pun!) is completed, start exercising your own personality. Life begins when you decide to “BE WHO YOU IS!” It is up to you – the Crossing Guard can not do it for you. “Let Freedom Ring!”
Footnote: As an “Attitude Farmer,” my articles are intended to plant thought seeds for living a better life. It is the reader’s duty to fertilize and nurture these scattered seeds so as to harvest the crops for a healthier and happier lifetime… John writes slow as he was born and raised in the “South.” So Please, read slowly for better comprehension.
