Last month, I remembered a thing I was yet to work on in my “Goal for the Year”. Back story is I never write down goals not until last year my friend influenced me and I’m really loving it. It helps to keep you on your feet and gives you a pat on the back when needed.
Yeah! One of the goals I have for the year is “Personality Review”. I’ve never been a fan of anonymous messages, so it wasn’t an option. Eventually, I decided to run a personality test on me by sending out some questions to my ten most blunt close friends. Trust me, it was really hard to pick. I try as much as I can to avoid friends that we won’t be real with each other.
And the result of the test? Really amazing! I was able to highlight my strength, note my weaknesses and even wrote things I need to work on as assignment. It’s something I’ll advise everyone to do once in a while. We can’t go about saying “people are this and that” when we are yet to work on our own selves.
I’m a big preacher of “being your own spec”. Everyone should make conscious effort of getting better and doing better. We don’t settle for a “that’s how I am” nonsensical behaviour here. It’s not too late to work on yourself.
If you’ve been hurt, ensure you get healed. If you need to clear your headspace or see a counsellor, please do. It’s tiring meeting bitter people on a daily basis. I hope the world would be safe for us all to live in someday, a world void of negativity and stigmatization. I’m looking forward to that day but that day would be a mere fantasy if you and I don’t make it an habit to do, act, think and see better.
Self evaluation and introspection shapes how we relate among others and how we feel the world at large. It’s paramount to growth and self development.
I agree. Humans are like buildings, there’s always a room for improvement as time goes on. It’s saddening when some decide to drag space with stagnant water with a phrase like “that’s how I am and I can’t change”.
I love personality check and real friends that can look at you in the face and tell you your bad side.
Honestly, because what’s friendship without being real? I feel “Checks and balances” should be an important application to every aspect, not just politics and media.
