Interesting Question


Ok, my mind has been racing lately, lots of information and questions bouncing around. Today I decided I need to simplify. I want to try and get to the core and slow things down a bit. A simple question popped right into my head … “what defines us” … I walked around a while bouncing that thought around in my head, when I encountered a good friend in passing and I threw it out at him. Without hesitation he said “what we do”. Well those of you that know me know that isn’t gonna cut it for me … so being the pest that I occasionally am I asked “what we do today, yesterday, or a combination of both”? Now I asked that question expecting him to pause, reflect, and stumble to some type of conclusion, but instead he floored me with a beauty of a thought. He said it is “what we do when we know no one else is looking”. I found that to be an EXCELLENT statement. After all does that not sum it up nicely? So now I ask this …. What would you do if you knew no one was looking, if you knew that no matter what action you took you only had to answer to yourself and no one else? Interesting thing to ponder isn’t it?
