How do you define yourself? How does your opinion compare to what others think of you?
The question is: How do you define yourself? How does your opinion compare to what others think of you?
I find this question is worded a bit oddly, but I will give it a whirl.
I define myself through my actions.
People in general say a lot of things, they try to define who they are verbally or in words in a way that may not be in tune with reality or rather in tune with their actions. As the old saying goes “actions speak louder than words” and I am a firm believer in that. My overarching goal in life is to better myself in as many ways as possible and to experience life in as many ways as possible and I think that these two goals are very congruent with my actions. I can further define myself by philosophical beliefs, but it is much nicer to work with concrete examples, so we will just leave it as “I define myself through my actions.”
As for how my opinion compares to what others think of me, I do not know. If they wish to share that opinion here on this blog, they are more than welcome, or they can keep it to themselves, I am indifferent to it either way.
