Its what's on the inside that counts, right? I disagree. If someone thinks good thoughts on the inside, but isn't good in life, how can they be good?
People are who they are on the outside.
Peer pressures are there for kids...but once you become an independent person, if someone influences you it's because that's who you are "being". That's who you are.
Life is like a train track turn table. You start and one point and have many possible tracks to start down. When you're a kid you go where you're directed (by your parents mostly). if you have good parents they will recognize your talents and abilities and direct you there. Once you're an independent you decide where to go.
I have all these ideas of who I am in my mind. I am an artist, I'm musical, spiritual, intellectual, outdoor lover, family orientated, fit(or potential to be fit)flexible and strong, Loving, good, I'm someone who can do anything.
(About the 'fit' part: In my mind I am much smaller than I appear on the outside (I see a photo and am surprised every time).
If those things are only ideas in my mind -- then truly I'm not anything.
I might have artistic ability but -- if I have no canvas to show then it's nothing...just possible potential that may or may not ever come to fruition. I'm the one who controls what I am and who I am by actions not thoughts. If I'm nice then I have to act nice to be nice.
Yes, it does have to be there on the inside to be able to be there on the outside...but it is not just what's inside someone that counts. It's what you do with it.
