Recently I've been thinking a lot about the quote be the type of person you want to meet.
Although this is a very short and simple quote it is also very deep and it makes me reflect on who I am and who I'm striving to be. It makes me think about how others perceive me and how I perceived.
“Be the type of person you want to meet.”
Yes you can take this quote as simple things like smiling at strangers and committing random acts of kindness.You could take it as, be nice to others. But to me, it hits a little deeper.
When I read it the first time, I thought to myself, “Okay, Kass, who do you want to meet?” And more importantly, what does that say about you? I think, depending on your answer, it says a lot about who you are trying to become. As you can probably assume, this query formed a bit of a mental dilemma in my head.
You see, I’m not 100% sure who or what I am trying to become. Which I think is a good thing because life is about evolving and transforming. But it does make me look at the type of person I want to be and two I want to become.
So, I decided to make a list (and all my OCD friends said Amen!) of all the things I want to become in the rest of the years I have…
I desire to become a person others look up too. A person who is an example of integrity honesty and loyalty. A Iperson aspirepeople can go to with any issue and know that I will not judge them. I will be the listener and the rock for them.
I aspire to be a giver of positive vibes. A person who lives in shades of yellow. A person that walks into the room and automatically lights it up.
I aspire to be a person who lives fully in the present and focuses on the positives of life. a person who embraces the simple pleasures and each moment and each day. A person who dismisses meaningless drama.
I aspire to be a person who is impeccable with their word. A person who only speaks words that are helpful encouraging necessary and kind.
I aspire to be a person that stands up for what is morally right. A person that does not give into peer pressure's or any other cultural pressure that goes against what they know is right
I aspired to be a role model for the younger generation. A role model of a strong independent person that doesn't conform to society unhealthy standards.
I aspired to be the person that I needed when I was younger. A strong independent woman who supports other woman. I aspire to be a woman that other women want to be friends with and men respect.
I aspire to find a life partner and have a honest, loyal, fun, loving relationship. A relationship where we both bring out the best in each other while still being the individuals that we are. A relationship where we can be who we are but support and encourage each other to grow and evolve as a couple. relationship where we bring out the best in each other. A relationship full of love laughter growth adventure and happiness.
I desire to live a life full of love laughter and growth. I aspire to live life not just go through the motions. I aspired to be a person that live life the way I want to live it.
I aspired to be a person who embraces the simple things in life such as the crashing of the Waves the blooming of the wild flower, and the sunset.
that is what my over analyzing mind took away from the quote, “Be the type of person you want to meet.”
I think it’s important that every once in a while in our lives we take a second to take stock of who we are and who we are becoming. Is it someone we are happy with? Are we heading in the right direction? If so, great!! If not, then it is never too late to start over and redefine who you are by thinking about ‘who you want to meet.’
