The Factors of our Lives.
so yea, ive been doing a bit more thinking lately then i perhaps ever have. And during one of my many thoughts i thought of some aspects that can define our lives.
Birth
This is probably the most simple defining moment of all. We were all born. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that each and every person reading this popped out of thier momma’s belly. This physical birth each of us went through defines who we are today in several ways.
what era were you born in? think about how the time period you were born in affects the way you think to this very day.
were you born into a fatherless or motherless family? did you grow up without one of your parents, if you did thats going to affect who you are today.
where were you born? if you were born here in America your whole culture is differnt than the rest of the world, and your thought process is different as well.
were you born into a rich family or a poor family? the economic status of your family effects how you deal with money in your own life.
the list of questions can go on and on, i hope you get my point though. Your life today for the most part will resemble the life you were born in to. Your birth affects your entire life.
Family
Just like birth, your family defines you. each and everyone of us had a different family situation. yes even you brothers and sisters, each one of you had a different situation. the youngest child is treated different than the oldest.
i think family is a defining factor because from living with your family you begin to figure out who you are and who you want to be. you learn from your family. you learn what character traits you want, and which ones you dont want. if you got upset when your family did certain things i would surely hope that when you grow up you wont do the same things to upset your own family. learning from your family is important. it will shape your own family when that time comes.
your family also impacts your view on the world. from growing up in a Christian family, you therefore grow up in the church. same goes with anything you grow up with, anything from your parents getting you involved in sports to your parents abusing you. it all affects how you see the world, and how you see life in general.
Education
Lust
Learning
Free
Love
Faith
Community
Life
Leadership
when i have some more time to think ill elaborate on the rest of my list, and perhaps add more words to the list.
