How much power do you hold over your character?

I believe that each day we make decisions about what we do, where we go, what we say and those things shape our character. And that everyday we have the chance to remain dynamic or static, that we can change our character or stay the same the choice is ours and ours alone.

Let's Dabble

For some weird reason we get this idea in our head that we have to do one thing for the rest of our lives. One goes to college, majors in something, gets a job and does that job for the rest of their life. These days it seems that people rarely dabble. They don't explore there talents and what they are capable of. It's like like your childhood is where you experiment but by adulthood you have to know what your doing. You know what I say to that type of thinking false. Exploring what your mind, and body can do is good for you. It keeps you healthy.

Besides by constantly learning your brain gets a chance to exercise. You know what they say use it or lose it. So go out and try something new. If you hate it move on do something else. Find something that you like and then go out and find something else you like. Who knows you could find a new activity, hobby or job.

Stuck in a Role

Sometimes I feel like we get stuck in a certain roles by our friends, family members, teachers, peers, coworkers, etc. And it sucks. We become the dependable one, the funny one, or the boring one with little room to break out. It becomes hard to change. But some times we have to change so what do you do? You can find new friends, go away and come back or change ignoring everyone else around you.

And don't put others in roles either. Let the people around be all of themselves.

Who do I want to be?

Sometimes one while along their life's journey acquires characteristics, traits, or habits, addictions they never really wanted. Characteristics that when you look in the mirror you don't like who you see. You ask yourself "How did I become this person?" These thoughts can lead to self- hatred , and depression. They take the smile off you face, the skip out of your step.

But how do you get rid of those characteristics? How can you become a person that when you look in the mirror you like who you see?

Fairy Tales

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that the dragons can be beaten.
