The Awareness of persona . . .

Today is a good day to pause and to take a look at – first – yourself, and – second – those your interact with. As to the 'what to look at' . . . that is the persona conveyed (what is what others see and think). And as to why? Consider these:

First) Are you more focused on an image that you want others to see you as? For example, some try to portray that they are successful and do what they can to have new clothes, a new car, or travel a lot, etc. etc. Second) What about those you interact with? Are they trying to convey an 'image'. And the question that then surfaces are for the you and them. Is the image a burden – a falsehood? Many

believe that the explosion of social media has created more harm then goodness (look how great I look, look at what I have or where I'm at or going, etc.).

Which unfortunately points to – too many chasing a persona. I like the 'relax, be who you are and just try to be a nice person, as best you can.' That's what I embrace. But what is best for you, you must decide.

For what we allow, will be and what we challenge, will be tested. The good is honorable and the false is what too many find and that is regrettable.

So, thank you for thinking on this and remember: Proverbs 15:33

Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.
