We all have a basic idea of who we are, hopefully. We go throughout our childhood, teen and young adult years picking up pieces of our world and putting them together to form the wonderful puzzle that is us. We pay attention to the things that attract us. We classify and make things our own. We remember the things that hit home and touch us personally and fit in with our personal mind set and values. We make the decision on how we feel about how we were raised and if that is how we want to raise our children. We form our opinions of the opposite sex based and the models we had growing up. We go out into the world and other people reinforce, or disprove our learned experiences. We set our values. We hopefully, discover our strengths. We may become altruistic or we may become aggressive. We look at other people's environment and decide if we can take anything from it, or add our own insights to theirs. We will face criticism. Whether it be constructive or negative we will hopefully be able to deal with it in a positive manner. We will discover our weaknesses and hopefully be accepting of them, or strong enough to work towards improving them. If we did not start out with a good childhood framework, this will be harder for us. We will have to do it on our own. We can imitate others, but when it all boils down, we need to find our own way. We will face many changes as we negotiate our life stages and we need to be compassionate with ourselves, and show ourselves the love that we deserve to bring peace into our lives. We can think back to who we were at different stages of our life, using pictures is a good way, and put together the puzzle that is who we are, and therefore, who we are meant to or want to be. We have to know who we are to live our reality. Until next blog! Love, Angelia
