What Your Habours Reflect Outside
Sometimes I sit and think about how our actions, the small things we do every day, can show the kind of person we really are. People say “your behaviour is your mirror,” and truly I believe it. What we carry inside us, our habits, our thoughts, our attitudes, all of them reflect outside for people to see.
If someone is always angry or rude, you don’t need to ask too many questions, because the anger already show in how they talk, how they walk, and how they treat people. The same way, when someone is kind and peaceful, you can feel it even before they speak. That is why I always believe that what you habour inside your mind will surely show outside.
In my own life, I have learn that keeping peace inside is very important. Sometimes life can be hard, people can offend you or say bad things, but if you keep too much bitterness inside, it start to show in your face and in your action. Even your friends can feel it. But when you decide to forgive and move on, you feel lighter and even your outside world become more beautiful.
In Korea for example, I have seen how people always show respect and calmness in public. They bow, they smile, and they talk gently. It’s not just training, it’s also what they habour inside respect and discipline. In Nigeria too, especially in Yoruba culture, we say “ìwà l’ẹwà,” meaning character is beauty. It’s not about what you wear but how you behave.
I think if everyone can focus more on building good habit inside, the world will look better. Because what you speak inside will always find a way to must show outside, no matter how you hide it.
So I try every day to keep good and have many positive thoughts, make sure to treat people kindly, to work hard and stay thankful and grateful. Maybe I’m not perfect, but I know the more positive that is inside, the more my outside life will shine. Truly, your inside world is what people see outside, even when you don’t say a word.
