I’m always trying to learn more about myself.  At 30, I can say that I have lived the lives of ten people, and I have gone through things that would have made some people go to an insane asylum.  I pretty much know who I am, my good traits, and my bad ones.

Good Traits – I’m loving, romantic, intelligent, knowledge seeker, genuine, ambitious, never give up, responsible, smart, organized, honest,, loyal, good listener, family oriented, adventurous, appreciates the smaller things in life, talkative, open minded, nonjudgmental, humorous, loves to laugh, will try something at least once.

Bad Traits – I can be neurotic, stubborn, quick to disregard people, narcissistic, get bored easily, melodramatic, over analyzer, easily irritated, can’t hide my emotions, somewhat OCD, and picky

In the past, I beat myself up for my bad traits, but now I embrace them. Everyone has flaws, so it isn’t like I am the only one.  I know that I have to work on them getting out of control, but just realizing which ones they are, I am on the right path.  Looking at this list, I know that I have far more good traits compared to my bad ones, and that’s all that matters.

My friend passed this on to me.  What do you get?

I’m reading “The Good Earth” again. The first time I read it, I didn’t pay as much attention as I should have because his voice is kind of easy to get swayed into thinking about other things. I’m listening and reading it now. I found a copy on Scribd, awesome site. Tolle says something that I have been doing. Lately, all I do is talk about what is lacking in my life, but I need to focus on what is already good in it.

These are the things that I am happy about:

1. Children
2. Family
3. Physical Appearance (for the most part)
4. Health
5. Personality
6. Stable Job
7. Direction
8. Home for my children
9. Almost debt free

Think about that. What makes you happy? Forget about what is lacking for once.
