So I am still searching for the answer to that question, all I could come up with is my personal Credo , I guess the sum of that makes up who I am , I just don’t know the word(s) or how to convey to both myself and to others who I am when asked.
I believe honestly that all people are Equal, all sexes, all genders (including all the shades of grey ) , all sexualities, all races, all ethnicities , all contries, all nations.
I don’t believe in one true religion, I do believe that all religions have their good points and bad points.
to me there is a huge difference between Faith and Religion , to me faith is a personal thing between a person and which ever God they believe in , while Religion is not.
For me the Bible is not the gospel truth, nor is it the word of God, it is however a great history book, written by humans, that not only gives me a glimpse into history, but of the politics of the time, the cultures,the beliefs and moral values of the time.
never argue the existence or nonexistence of God with an Atheist, I respect their views and thoughts and choices, and will not argue with them, or try to convince them they are wrong … to me they are not at all wrong, or misguided, or a heathen or anything but human… as I said to me Faith or lack of it, is a personal thing.
Go through life and do no harm to others, human or animal , be kind always, and help everyone as much as possible, and expect nothing for your actions or deeds.
always strive for your personal best, be the best person you can be , not perfect, before speaking always ask yourself… how would I feel if someone spoke those words to me? never try to be perfect and don’t hide your flaws, change them if you can, if not, accept them , own them, but don’t dwell on them.
take ownership of your own life, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Give more than you take
Stay Humble… always
Enjoy life to the absolute best of your ability , have many ” hold my beer and watch this” moments , laugh at yourself, be the brunt of your own joke now and then.
Love Honestly, Fiercely,Loyally with all your heart and soul, or don’t love at all.
Be honest, be loyal, be true ( “Authentic”) to yourself, your family, your friends, to strangers, to everyone.
your word is your bond , if you say you will do something, do it, always, no exceptions , sometimes in life all a person has is their word and a handshake.
Never make a promise to anyone for any reason if you can not or will not keep it and carry it out. never let a promise become a lie.
try to find the good hidden within the bad , and always remember, there is always someone who is worse off than you , keep everything in perspective.
never take tomorrow for granted, it may not come, live for today, live each day as though it was your last, one day it will be.
be thankful for each morning you wake up , one morning you will not.
Take chances and risks, live life to the fullest , pursue happiness over prosperity , take what you need to live and don’t worry who has more/bigger/better/newer/ in the end, rich or poor…the graves are all the same size.
Don’t take life too seriously, and don’t take yourself too seriously…
Be open to new thoughts ideas, views, and possibilities, and be willing to learn new things, life, thoughts,deeds,actions are not written in stone.
Okay it is late, and this is the gist of my personal credo, I don’t like how it sounds when I read this, it comes off as preachy or the absolute of everything, and it is neither, it is simply my own personal beliefs and values and the tools I use to get through this life , they are MY beliefs and values, and they work for ME, they may not ( and probably are not) what works for you or your personal compass ….. these are but a fraction of what defines who I am , and the only way I know how to answer that burning question I asked myself “who am I”? … I can’t define myself down to a single word or sentence, I have tried repeatedly and am still trying , I don’t know that it can be done.
So that’s enough about me for now, so my question to you is… Who are you? do you have a personal credo? … it’s not an easy question to answer. ( and no you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, it’s just something for you to ponder is all )
So that’s all for tonight and as always Remember Folks :express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted, and be kind to others.
