As far back as I can remember the character we set free in the moments we lived were not always based on who we truly were. My father always told me to stay away from certain people because he knew my character would change and I'd end up getting in trouble. Same is true in 2018. You can physically see the personality changes on social media. What I find more interesting is how each character changes on what social media we're using. Twitter versus Instagram versus Facebook. Some will tell you that it's the same. All they did was cut and paste. Why then did I feel like it was three different newspaper stories featuring several different artists? Our character at work can be very protective or extremely shy. Who are you at home in the morning compared to when you get home after a long hard day? The shapes of our characters, are they created and or generated the way my dad saw it? Do you become a certain person while circling with certain friends or family members? How can you regain control of your truer self? If people saw me away from radio I'd be instantly branded a boring person. I love simple. I don't want to get in peoples way. I'd rather sit near the window staring at the forest then walk into a conversation and pretend I know what's going on. Where's the leadership in that role? That in itself is a very authentic question. Do we have leaders today or are they characters? Dad would always remind us, "Know your place and never forget where you came from." That was his way of saying that no matter how big you think you are with others there's still dishes to be washed at home and a dryer full of clothes that need to be folded. Be aware of your character changes. Study their habits and what they crave. Get back to being your true self. The rest of us will catch up.
