What Are You Good At?...

In the past when we have talked about understanding who we truly are as an individual  it is possible to get an idea of this by examining what we like, what we enjoy, and in this way really defining ourselves.  Take some time and think about what you are the best at.  What do you do that you yourself consider to be very good.    There is something, usually more than one something, but there is something that I consider I am good at.  Are you best at being a mother, are you best at making money, are you best at loving your partner, are you best at drawing or music.    Peel away the layers and break it down to that which you are good at doing, being.   Some people may instantly know what the best thing is.  Some it may take some self examination.   But once you get an idea of that which is your perfection, that which you are good at, think a little about why are you good at it.  Think about what you have done to get to be so good at what this is.  Think of what it takes to keep you at your peak on this that you do well.  Now apply those things that you do and apply them to those things you feel you are not so good at.   If you are satisfied with these areas that are not your best, fine, then let it go, but if you want to improve them then use your own principles for greatness in the best area of your life to help you improve the areas that you intend to improve.   Make your intention to become more rounded in who you are by improving these areas of personal need.   Then do it.

Selfhood Pt.2.... being ok with who you are

Much of what we do and even think has become so conditioned in us that we hardly know what we are thinking and especially feeling when we are thinking it.  That is why it becomes very important to consciously do the inventory of who we are.   One of the things on my list was simply ‘I like country music’.  Once I inventoried it I could claim it and feel it was a part of me.   I have to say that I enjoyed country music even more after that.   I could allow the joy that it gives me.  That is only one example.  So spend some time on that inventory.  You can write it down or you don’t have to, but I don’t recommend sharing your list with anyone, or tell them what you are doing.  It is ok, to tell your friend, ‘I like country music’ because that is claiming it but the list and the process is yours. Once you have worked on this inventory you know more about yourself and it is easier to accept yourself.  It’s easier to be ok with who you are.
