Relationships: do we define or defined by it


I suddenly thought of this while talking a walk this morning. Who we are should not be defined by our relationships but by our own individuality. There are lots of people whom you meet and we may never see them again or they are with you for a certain period before you part. But that should not make the person you are.

Everyone has a reason for being on this planet and each of us are gifted. We just need to get to know ourselves better to identify our potential. And no one actually helps you find yourself and you've got to do it yourself.

When you know yourself well then you will see that you are in the right kind of relationships and hang around with like minded people. I was just speaking to one of my favorite uncle and we were discussing an interesting thing. We don't have to prove ourselves to anyone and people who want to be with you shall accept you as you are. There is no use reforming anyone or yourself cause then you wouldn't be your actual self. Everyone has the right to lead the kind of life they want to lead and we choose the life we lead. And the integral part of our lives are our relationships. So, I would believe that we define relationships and not the other way around.
