Of course, there comes moments when we are asked to do something that we might not fully agree with. Doing these things against our will or standing up for what we believe in will also define us as we choose our own boundaries.
We are defined not only by what we say and how we act but also by the people we associate ourselves with. We only have one name, this is our personal brand and we are all in control of the perception of that name/brand.
Each and every person, by their upbringing and belief system, has set out what they find acceptable to do in life and what they do not agree with. To me it always comes down to the power of choice. We hold the path of our lives in our own hands and although we cannot see the future to know where the path will lead us, we can choose the path to follow and change directions as we please.
It comes down to; We can be whoever we choose to be, we can become whatever we want to be, life holds no limits and we alone are in control of our choices.
I for one choose to work in a creative industry where each day holds its own challenges. I enjoy working with people and using communication to build a brand perception. I choose to be; friendly, enthusiastic, affectionate and considerate. I care for people and building relationships. I believe communication is the key to any relationship. What and how we communicate can determine who we are.
I love being a Public Relations Practitioner - PR is truly what I do and who I am. Every day I make the choice to be in this industry and I will make it over and over again.
Loved this post! Very inspiring and truthful.
ReplyDeleteI also loved this post and totally agree. I also think communication is one of the most essential parts in any relationship whether in a working, friendship, family or romantic relationship.
ReplyDeleteThat is also why we are in PR and why we enjoy it so much, because we love to communicate.
