Day 24: Your Two Best and Worst Traits
I'll start with the bad so that this will end on a happy note...
Currently, my two worst traits, in my opinion (and I'm sure others may see it differently), are perfectionism and escapism.
Perfectionism - My desire to do things perfectly and choose the perfect path for myself can be paralyzing at times and keeps me trapped in confusion, overanalyzing every possible thing. Striving for excellence = good; perfectionism = terrible.
Escapism - Doing whatever is necessary to distract myself from the things I'd rather not think about instead of facing reality head-on and fixing the problem. (This includes a lot of movies and television, daydreaming about things I know I will never actually do, and this tendency sometimes causes real panic where I just want OUT of something as quickly as possible.)
My two best traits, in my opinion, are benevolence and sensitivity.
Benevolence - The desire and good motivation to be kind, generous, gracious, and helpful to others, especially those who are hurting or struggling, is something I really like about my character and personality.
Sensitivity - Being tenderhearted and sympathetically aware of the feelings of others... I can be overemotional sometimes, but I like that I am sensitive to other people's needs, to spiritual warfare, and to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
I'm sure there are plenty of other qualities that could fill either list here, but I'm going to do my best to focus on the good and work with God to overcome the bad. There are currently more things I like about myself than things I dislike, more strengths that I notice than weaknesses, and that has certainly not always been the case. God makes everything beautiful in its time, and my life is a work in progress that He will be faithful to complete! =) I'm okay with that, and I love knowing that He will not reject or give up on me!!
Happy Tuesday... see you tomorrow! =)
