Have you ever wondered about who you are and who you wish to be? Do you ever think of how your actions describe you?
Have you pondered upon your career, life goals, and personal growth?
If the answer to these questions is Yes or even No, then you are at the right place to delve within.
While growing up, you are what you did and what you ought to do for the rest of your life. Certain decisions make or break you.
“Your actions define your character, your words define your wisdom, but your treatment of others defines REAL you.”
― Mayur Ramgir
Why is Action Important?
We are known by the things we do. Imagine we are doing nothing, sitting and just thinking.
Similarly, if Alexander, the Great, would have only sat and not led his troop, would he be able to defeat enemy after enemy? No right.
So be cautious of your actions, but definitely act upon your goals. By action only you would be known for who you are.
Understand Your Current Actions
“Action not words” is the problem of many. How many of you wanted to learn something in your life but gave up? How many have talked about losing weight?
Have you ever wondered about seeking a lucrative job opportunity, learning a new language, or a musical instrument?
Well, take a moment and write down all those life objectives you wanted and couldn’t. Then briefly note down which one you can start from.
Start taking action, or else it would become a part of your daydreaming process.
Who You Are is always Defined by Your Actions
On day-to-day basis, whatever you do defines your character. People tend to judge by your actions more.
Imagine you always sitting on the last bench of your class, and suddenly one day, you sit in the front row.
What will happen? This action of yours will highly be judged.
The reason is that your character reflected that of a last bencher, and if your action changes, they’re bound to have a change of thought.
So before you take any action, think, “Will this action positively help my character growth?
No One Can Define You Except Your Actions
As rightly said, “Never allow yourself to be defined by someone else’s s opinion of you”.
You need to be the painter of your own masterpiece. Everybody must have an impression of you but is that what makes you who you are?
If Mahatma Gandhi had listened to his thought by Nathuram Godse (anti-Gandhian thoughts), would Gandhi have helped India get independence?
“Understand the intentions but never be influenced by what others assume of you.”
How Do Your Actions Describe Who You Are?
Suppose you are a prominent entrepreneur and have to recruit a salesperson for your company. You have two candidates with similar academic backgrounds and skill sets.
But one of them has a clean character record, and the other one has some criminal record in the past.
However, he has come clean and is not involved in it. But who will you prefer?
The answer is the person with a clean background over the past convicted one. The reason is that his past action portrayed him in a not feasible light.
In the same way, whatever you do or act upon things does represent your character.
