    Also what qualities would you like to work on or gain?

    I wish I could limit my level of being understanding. Being understanding sounds like a great quality, but it does have a bad side to it.

    I would love to change my procrastinator like attitude, I could really get alot more shit done if I didnt put things on hold until the last minute.


    I would like to work on my confidence, I mean Im confident, but sometimes when life hits and my cage gets rattled my confidence takes a hit too.

    I would also like to work on my level of patience.

    I'm working on being more patient and less affected by the choices others make.

    I'm good with myself as is. I figured out a long time ago that the qualities that I'd typically think to be my least attractive, are the ones that have come in the most handy when the bad shit happens. So I'd just leave myself as is, the good and the bad work together most of the time and balance out my life nicely. That's not to say I don't have flaws, I do and I see them clearly, but I just see them as necessary and even useful.

    I give a great deal, which I don't think is that big of a problem, but I expect a great deal in return....which is.

    I also have a horrible temper, not a quick one... just a bad one.

    I also need to think before I speak, get a handle on this brain-mouth-filter. I really don't think those are qualities.

    All in all, I enjoy me.

    good introspective thread and very mature you see yourself in an objective light.

    for me Im perfect. Im willing to help yall though to be like me. LOL

    Im with you on the confidence thing. I learned to when times get bad try your best remember to breathe deep and do the following:

    make a goal, set a plan and measure the pros and cons and research thoroughly.

    I want to be more discerning who I allow to come into my life.

    Oh yeah this is a big one for me, too. I do get things done, and I get them done fairly well but I stress myself out so much with last minute pressure. I really need to get out of this habit!

    I'm also extremely sensitive. I'm tough and can cope and have coped with a lot of crap but the opposite of 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' has happened in my case, hah. I take things very personally and to heart, which is a quality that doesn't help me in the slightest, and I'd love to change.

    I'm also incredibly stubborn. And sarcastic. Apparently I'm a huge pain in the arse to argue with.

    There are definitely some things I'd like to change, & I'm actively working on some of the changes now.

    I need to pray & read the Bible more.

    I'm too hard on myself. When I makes mistakes, I get mad at myself for not being superwoman. This comes from being a perfectionist.

    Another side-effect of being a perfectionist is I procrastinate too much waiting for everything to be perfect, so I don't accomplish as much as I'd like or do it as well as I'd like to get it done.

    I'm trying to be more patient. Although I have more patience with others than I do myself, I'd be more patient overall if I was more patient with myself.

    I'm trying to take better care of myself, because I've always put myself last. I've spent so much time taking care of others, I've forgotten that I count too.

    I'm working on getting to know myself again. My identity for years has been about my son & my job, and now that my son is grown, I'm ready to live my life for me. Fuck my stupid job.

    I'm writing again, although not as much as I'd like to be. That's the talent God blessed me with & I need to be putting it to use.

    I'd like to be more organized.

    I need to watch my temper. I don't lose it often, but when I do it's ugly.

    I'd like to cook more. I eat out too often, and it's unhealthy & a waste of money. The money would be better spent on groceries & shoes.

    I can't stay with the positive thinking. I'm good for a few days and then I revert back to negative thinking until I catch myself.

    I need to find a way to make money writing so that I can quit my boring job and do what I love.

    I procrastinated with going back to school and I intend to change that.

    That's all for now. :partyman:
