Everywhere you go, you sell yourself.

That’s something I have heard a lot in the last little while. It’s the truth. But it’s another thing to act on it.

Everything you do represents you to another human being. Do your actions accurately reflect your values? Are you the person you perceive yourself to be?

But you don’t only embody your personal values. You represent the things you talk about.

Excited about your job? Talk about it a lot? Immediately you become the thing people reference when they think about said job.

If you support a certain viewpoint or culture, you are a model for that idea. The more you talk about it, the more this holds true.

If you say you are a Christian, for example, you are immediately the impersonation of Christianity to all around you. They will form opinions of all Christians based on your behaviors.

You can’t make everybody see you perfectly all the time. There will always be those that disagree with how you live your life.

But you can be the best version of yourself in order to represent your core ideas and values accurately.

Be intentional about your actions and ideas. Know yourself and act wisely.
