We always want to define ourselves with words and fit our individualities into a nice compartmentalized box. We look for something so stationary and finite when life is anything but that. The thing is what we speak and what we do is more an expression of our true essence of being then any definitive label or tag we put on ourselves. There is a flow to expression. It’s a noun, but it depicts release and motion. It conveys the individualities we all strive so hard to hone in on. With its motion, our expressions allow room for change. We all change. Our thoughts and stances change every minute and that is the beauty of the universe. We don’t have to stick to one choice for the rest of our lives. How boring would that be?

The thing to remember, is behind our actions are the choices we make. Yes choices. There are always choices. Before every action we take is the choice to take it. In that choice is our individuality, our essence. It is in our choice of words, our choice of reaction, our choice of movement and action. In those simple or impossible moments are when who we are comes to us and becomes tangible and visible to the rest of the world. That is when we are unique. That is when we are truly individuals.
Take note of what you’re doing; better yet, slow down. Try to become more aware of the words you speak and the actions you take. Think about what you’re doing and saying and what it says about you.
