As I reflect back on the video "Möbius Strip" I believe that we live in a world of what will other say when they know the real me. My hair needs to be perfect, my clothing has to be the latest version, the car I drives has to stand out in the parking lot, let's not for get what kind of job I have.
We are so worried about our outer appearance that we have forgotten about the heart. I want people to be please with what they can see and it don't matter if am not a happy person on the inside. Well what's on the inside of you will show on the outside of you. If you aren't happy you will not want others to be happy. Let's look closely at our self, do you hurt other if they have caused you pain? Do you put others down because it makes you look better to others? If someone needs your help are you willing to give of your time and resources? Do you look for others to give to you or are you willing to give without receiving?
If you can say that these areas are like me at all then you may have a health heart. One way I make sure my heart is always healthy is by asking myself do this look like the life of God. Norma would God have carried on this way? If he was here right now would he say am pleased with you daughter? Now this isn't always going to make me feel great and make others like me. But I have a goal and it is to please God.
I can still want nice things, go to great places, be around great people. I just have to watch my lifestyle. 1st Corinthians 13:4-5 teaches us how to really have a healthy heart! Who we become has a lot to do with the environment and culture you are around. For example the area where you live, the school you attend,your family genes are all things that help you become the person you are.As we grow or maybe I should say age who change. Things I have done in my pass I wouldn't do now.
Now in chapter 1 biological, psychological,and social forces all have something to do with how people develop.If you are able to understand how these factors work you will be better able to understand how different people really are. But how much alike we really are as well. For example my 5 sisters and I are so much alike however we are still so different. We were raised by the same parents how ever we all took different paths in live. People often say that we do things so different and yet I think we choose what we want to do and the culture you are apart can make you choose wisely or not so wise.
