What do you think defines you?

Does God define you or do you define yourself?

Do you accept the way others define you?

Or are you more than they see or less than they see?

Good question AB.

I do think it is a mixture of all.
We can only be defined by our actions and the impact we make.
That can be an impact on others or ourselves.
Like the ripples made by a pebble thrown in a pond.
People see me so much different than I do, that has puzzled me a bit
lately, because the difference is huge in either direction.

I think some people define you based on who they are and what they want.

Making you fit into their world instead of accepting you into it.

I accept you as you have presented yourself. My first encounter of you
was a statement of wisdom so to me you are a light in the darkness on my
path through this life.

Thank you, but I'm not always nice.
And I think that is where God's part comes in.
If I don't feel comfortable with my actions, when I know it is wrong
what I do or did, then I know that the spirit is talking to me. And when
I can forgive myself, then I will be forgiven.

I don't know whether you have read my poem Boxes, I posted it this
morning in the poetry section, that's how I feel like when somebody
tries to put me in a box and labels me.
Then my not so nice part comes to light.

None of us are allways nice that is but a part of being human.

My actions and thoughts define the me that I see.

I define me.

No , I do not accept the definitions of others that see me...for I am
more.....more than even I know I am..

I agree

My soul defines me, the who I am inside, I define me, the beat in my
walk, the light in my eyes, I am me can be no
other, I simply am

Right now I don't know if anything other than myself defines me...I just
try to survive and help others when I can..For the most part I don't
give a hoot how anyone defines me, I need only be content with how I
define myself.I do know that I am so much more than others see me as
though...hope this answers this ..and makes sense

jesus christ the true god defines me enough said

Made perfect sense

I use to think that I defined the person I was. I knew that I made the
choices for my life. I can choose to do good or bad. I can choose
left or right. Therefore, I used to think that I defined the person
that I was. I made all the right life decisions until one day.

I ignored the warning signs. A violent destructive storm came and went
in my life. I was left pretty shaken up afterwards, but determined
that I would put my life back together. The next few years I continued
to struggle, but nothing was ever quite right.

I had lost myself somehow. Too much had changed within me. I could
not be the person that I once was. I foolishly thought that it did not
matter. I would redefine myself, but that was all wrong. I was making
a big wreck of my life. I was sad and miserable.

Finally, the realization came to me. I could not simply define myself
because that implied that I did not exist already which was false. I, my
soul, existed. I needed to find myself. I needed to understand my
soul inside and out. I traced my steps and began the process of
rediscovery myself.

From this experience I have learned the following:
1. My soul defines the person that I am.
2. My actions, decision, experiences, and my interpretation of the
previous 3 concepts, influence and can impact and affect my soul.
3. For me to achieve true happiness and inner peace, I need to be true
to myself, my soul.
