Each person is born with a personality. It’s as simple as that. That personality dominates where a person will evolve in their life. That personality defines what a person will choose to do. That personality guides what an individual may become. And, in many cases, where they will end up in life.
 
An individual’s personality is one of the primary ingredients in any person’s existence.
 
The secondary factor of a person’s life, and life evolution, is where a person is from. What country, what state, what city, and what community within all of the above. Where a person is from truly dominates all they are, all they can be, and all they can become.  Even a person from a different city, in the same state, or a separate part of the same city may be dominated by different formative factors.
 
Think about your own life. Think about where you are from. How has where you are from come to define you as an individual? What has it caused you to do? How has it caused you to behave? What opportunities has it provided you with? What detriments did it give you?
 
If you are honest with yourself, you will realize that where you are from has been one of the key components in all that you are at any point in your life, including now.
 
Again, where are you from? How has where you are from caused you to think, act, and become?
 
If you look through your life, most certainly there will have been some person who came into your life that was from somewhere else. Did you notice the difference(s) in that individual compared to yourself and those around you? Did you realize that they were somehow just a bit difference? Though you may speak the same language, wear a similar style of clothing, listen to the same music, watch the same shows on TV, there is always at least a subtle difference. Yes?
 
Many people aspire to move onto to that somewhere else. Some people are forced to move to that somewhere else. In either case, though they may get to that somewhere else, there is always the foundational elements of where they are from. For no matter how long someone is in that new somewhere else of a place, there is always the where they are from. That is what created them and this is what caused them to be what they are today.
 
In my own life, I witnessed this from a young age. My mother, who was originally from the Mid-West, was a very different person, and held highly different values, than did my father who was from Los Angeles. In fact, she always refereed to where she was from as, “Home.” And yearly, she would traveled back to that place to visit her family and friends. My father, on the other hand, was home. Thus, he never had to travel to be, “Home.”
 
In my youthful comparison, I always saw the difference in the personalities of those two people, formed by where they were from. As my years have progresses, each time I have met someone who was from that somewhere else, I could always pick up on the difference. Myself, when I have traveled to and/or lived in different places, I have always internally acknowledged that I was from that somewhere else. And, no matter how hard I knowingly tried to integrate into the culture of where I found myself, I knew there was a difference.
 
Many people when they move to a new location, and live there for a time, believe they have become a part of that new place. And yes, this may be the truth to a degree. But, no matter how much they claim and possibly believe their new integration, for anyone who is a true native of that place, if they look closely, they can easily observe that differences in that arrived individual’s internal makeup compared to that of the person who was originally from that place.
 
As the world has gotten smaller, and travel between geographic locations has become much easier, it has become more and more common to interact with people who are from that somewhere else.
 
What does all this mean to you? It means that if you are from that somewhere else, you need to be honest and true to your reality. Where you find yourself today is always constructed upon where you came from. And, no matter how long you may have lived where you have lived, if you were incubated elsewhere, that elsewhere will always be at least part the true definition of who you are.
