SELF PERSONA

I have constantly pondered what a new person or new personality might require in order to bury what has been previously acted upon or done—simply those acts that have shaped a person, starting with influences and criteria that lie outside of oneself, all the way to those lines of reasoning (referred to as a person’s natural acts) where you know full well that a person is clearly being insincere by adopting a certain stance; a key turning point involving a personal transformation, which may stem from someone you know, an idol, a role model, an ideal, among many others.

Being a clear-minded and principled person leads to the ability to freely steer the development of a self-sufficient, adequate, and fully independent individual, without the desperate urge to resort to the concepts of “adoption” or “adaptation”; this, in contrast, could be seen as someone incapable of fending for themselvesthe famous label (“lacking personality”) but by turning to an autonomous philosophy, you pursue a satisfying reality, where you yourself present vast seas of intellect to truly unravel the anomalies and oddities that define a person’s characteristics. It is worth noting that one should not underestimate the source of inspiration, since it makes the discrepancy between “adaptation” and the resonance that gives rise to inspiration very clear; taking prototypes of ideals and applying them to one’s own life is utterly enriching: because in and of itself, you experience You may experience the same things from a different perspective until the next ones come along, but we must be actively aware of where we’re heading when we start drawing inspiration from something outside ourselves; we must always stay focused on whether that idea or so called path is truly right for us or our lifestyle.

For the most part, reflection is the enemy, but I believe it’s our tool for perfecting what we detest most: unfortunately, at first, we tend to choose what’s most visually appealing within a socially favorable category. I believe I would adopt the premise “look at the inside before the outside,” viewing it favorably from the perspective that the inside is what reveals and expresses what’s happening within; nevertheless, a person built upon their own essence rather than on rubble—is truly preferable. Humans have flaws from birth; that’s where each person’s unique differences come from—everyone is different in their own way. That’s what specifically defines us as something that doesn’t come from a template. Being and inspiring others is good, but we mustn’t let ourselves be swayed so easily; we must truly work on being ourselves and not just a “copy.” Always remember that those who do not try do not gain the experience that can lead to a lesson or insight while striving for a “victory”; that is why “winning” often serves as a reminder that the goal is the result of the process, effort, and understanding.
