Self discovery is a never ending process. Everyday, we discover bits and pieces of who we are, both good and bad. As humans, none of us is perfect and that’s totally fine. But, the bad part would be we not being willing to better ourselves with every passing opportunity.
Human beings they say are social butterflies.You may never know your weaknesses and that’s why it’s very important to have people around you. These people serve the purpose of helping you identify your strengths and weaknesses in a way and working on them as well. Regardless, most of the work relies on you the individual as every action you take affects you.
I’ve known myself to be a very outgoing person on most days. And there are days I can be very introverted. To add to these, the part of me that amazes me the most is how observant I am and I only came to realise this a while back. With this, it has to do more with me listening and watching a lot. Growing up, I’ve known myself to pay very keen attention to little details and I believe that’s what makes me stand out.
My ability to observe things has increased drastically over the last few months and this has made me see meaning to many things. I’m someone with a very kind heart. I love to help people in any way I can, whether it’s to make a joke which would make their day, talk to them, offer financial help , you just name it. But, we all these ways I try to extend a helping hand to others to make the world a better place, people tend to try to cross the line.
I understand that someone’s actions shouldn’t prevent you from doing good or being who you are.
That’s very accurate but sometimes, we should learn to know where to draw the line. I’ve come to learn that, not everyone deserves that warmth from you. Some people deserve that straight face because once you smile with them, they tend to take things too far. I’ve had experiences with people which have been pretty awful.
Just yesterday, a colleague of mine made an outburst which made me very furious. This got me asking myself if people really take time to process their words and actions before even executing them. Bear in mind that this outburst wasn’t directed to me, but rather to another person. However ,in a way, I didn’t just feel right about it and if it were to be me, I really wouldn’t have taken it lightly. On another level, I made a mental note to remember this outburst in all my dealings with this person.
If there’s one thing I would like to or wish to change about myself, it would most definitely be how nice I am to some people.You might be surprised, but it’s for a good reason. Even though I’m not too nice to everyone, people might just read too much into you just being civil with them and start to misbehave. With my patience level these days, I really don’t think I can stand some of these things and that’s why I wish to make this change to my personality.
all images belong to me.
