We are all impacted and greatly influenced by what we have experienced. It has given many of us the platform we needed to evolve and become the people that we are.You and I will meet hundreds of people in our lives, young and old that will show us a new way to cook a dish, a new way to explore the world or a new way to see the world. Giving us perspective and often showing us how simple it is to evolve.
But is evolution a good thing?
The answer is yes!
We all need a push from time to time to remind us that we need to get out of rut of routine and ‘upgrade’ ourselves as we would computers. Parts become rusty or unused and need to be replaced with new parts. We should welcome our personal evolution and the evolution of others. It is how we will learn more about who we really are and what makes us happy.
The answer is no!
Yes, we all need to evolve from who we are…that reveals personal progress. But we shouldn’t leave who we use to be behind and be influenced by the rhetoric in front of us. Take what you learn, hold it close but don’t forget who you are.
Losing yourself is dangerous. Losing your likes and dislikes, your compassion or strength or your own ability to determine your own path will leave you trapped in a sphere of evolution and recreation. If you become what other want you to, you as a being no longer stand on your own, but on the back of another.
Take the time to learn about who you really are before you allow the influence of others in.
“Good actions give strength to ourselves and inspire good actions in others.”
- Plato
