Everyone expresses themselves differently. Obviously, (or maybe not so obviously) I express
myself and my emotions best through written word. It empowers who I am by giving word and voice
to the part of me I feel hides inside.
How do you express yourself? I
have come to learn there are infinite ways to do so. My older sister I feel best expresses herself
in her movements. From her hand gestures
to her choreographed dancing, her body sometimes says more than her words
do. My younger sister is best known for
her talent with instruments and there is no doubt she is sharing herself every time
she performs a piece or when she teaches someone else how to express themselves
through this same outlet. She speaks a
language that sings to the soul. My
younger brother, while very smart and great at articulating himself through
words, really shows who he is with his art.
It is unique and an insight into him and his view of the world. I have a very dear friend who communicates
herself best through the service she continually offers. She willingly opens herself up to freely give
to others the love she feels for all and the hope she inspires in others. My husband expresses and defines himself
through his work. By assimilating and
excelling at the challenges he is given, he finds his sense of self. So now
that you have a couple of examples, how do you best express yourself? Is it in your words, your actions, your
thoughts? How do you best be you and
define yourself from the other six billion people on this planet?
I love that your family is so well rounded in all their different talents, very cool! Interestingly enough, I express through my actions better than words, even though I appreciate others words so much! On second thought, I probably do equally with my words since I am continuously giving therapy through my work as a cosmetologist. ;) I love my job! Thanks for another interesting post, I love your writings. :)
