Today’s Assignment: Consider the traits you love the most.
The Deets: If you could keep just five qualities about yourself, what would they be? Why?
Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
- Sense of humor. My capacity to make people laugh is pretty high.
- Empathy/compassion. Being an off-the-charts empath has its benefits.
- Wisdom/intelligence. There is a difference, so maybe these should be separate, but combining No. 2 with this makes me versatile.
- Resilience/perserverence. If nothing else, this defines me.
- Creativity. This could also be called “weirdness.”
There ya have it. There ya are.
