After reading about the meltdown of Jason
Russell, director of the Kony2012 video, I can’t help but be reminded of the truth
we all too often lose sight of:
-People will always have an opinion of you and
your efforts, but it is up to you to decide whose opinion truly matters.
No matter how pure our intentions or righteous our
efforts, someone will always find a flaw in who we are and what we stand for.
So I pose this question to you: Who’s opinion
of you truly matters?
-Is it your parents?… how about your
significant other?... is it your own opinion of yourself?
-How about your friends… do their opinions
really matter?
Sadly, all of these opinions will never ALWAYS
be right. So, who really defines us and
our efforts?
I feel Jason’s wife has found the right answer to this
question by the strength revealed in her voice when she states: “We’ll take care of Jason, you take care of the work. The
message of the film remains the same: stop at nothing,"
Decide who defines your worth.
Stop at nothing.
In answering your question, who defines your worth? I believe that one's worth is defined by himself. Only he has unbiased insight to his motivations, values, character and reasoning behind the choices he's made in life. Others that may form opinions of the person are basing their judgements off superficial information, because they are looking from the outside in. Only this person has a view from within, and that is the clearest vantage point. With that said, a person should listen to those that he cares for and respects, but ultimately decide for himself what is his worth.
ReplyDeleteMakes ya think . Think that we let to many peoples opinions define who we are . Thos is great makes me reflect on myself and how opinions truly do affect my everyday life.
