i was recently asked a very interesting question that got me thinking.
the question was: if you could change anything about yourself,
what would you change?
at first thought, i came up with a running list; as one might expect.
but then i got to thinking...
of that list, the majority (if not all) of them i can change.
i have the ability to change.
i just don't pursue them far enough.
if i really wanted to change them, i would make it happen.
if i could really change anything about myself,
i'd like it to be something i don't have the ability to change myself.
my off-the-top-of-my-head list is:
*i'd like to be able to forgive AND forget.
i've gotten good at forgiveness, but i struggle to forget.
and this is particularly aimed at myself
(is that what regret is?)
**i'd like a better social ability.
being able to learn new things, especially from people who are passionate about something, is something i greatly enjoy. but it's hard to pull that kind of info from someone without good oral communication. sure, i talk to people and i'm not afraid of it, i just need some better skills (cue: gina?)
***I'd like to not be so fearful/afraid/worrisome.
the ability to let go, to just do/live.
to not be afraid of who i think i really am.
to push through and not worry about it.
****i'd like a higher metabolism.
here it is; the typical "girl" response about changing her body.
but it's there.
i love to eat....
that's what i came up with, without putting too much thought into it.
but really, who says i can't change these things?
can't take steps to change these about myself?
wouldn't it be great to be able to say:
i don't what to change anything about myself?
new goal found!
