Architect Of Our Own Lives

"Written in ourselves is a blueprint defined in an answer. Any answer you want." - Arian Foster

What is that answer? That is, how do you choose to define yourself?

While visiting Mom a couple weeks back, she said that she knew I had a soft heart as a baby when I started (and stopped) crying during a scene in a soap opera when an actor did the same.

There may be no escaping certain aspects or instincts of our nature - empathetic, judgmental, competitive, helpful. But we have the strength to embrace or reject them in accordance with the type of person that we want to be.

So the question lingers. Do you want to be knows as the type of person you were last week? Or is something prompting you to set a new blueprint for your future, one to be pursued instantly and realized fully in the years to come?
