| | Persona...
I heard a few stories from a person this last weekend. In a few different stories they talked about different people and their "persona's". One story stood out.
The man talked about his father. They lived in an affluent area. His father had a job at the local factory. He remembers his father waking up everyday and putting on a suit and a tie and going to work as if he owned the place. However, He got to work and put on grubby work attire and head out on to the factory floor. At the end of a long shift he would clean up and put the suit and tie back on and drive home. The storyteller ened the story by saying, "That was his persona."
It got me thinking about my own life and the image I want others to see. Is it honest or do I put on my own suit and tie and go to work, church, hang out with friends, be with my family?
When I am working at my job I work with students who everyday are putting on a tie and suit to different crowds. I challenge them everyday to be okay with just who they are...
So what is something honest I can share here and now. I sometimes spend time in social situations playing with my kids more not because I want to play with them, but I want to avoid adults droning on about meaningless small talk. (although I always enjoy playing with my kids, it is an easy excuse!)
