My assignment this week is to state 3 things I could be more honest about in my life. While there is most definitely more than 3, here are the top (in no particular order) that come to mind...
1. I am tremendously competitive with myself and others
This is something that has become more an more apparent to me as I am getting older. It also applies inside and outside of school. It can typically be anything from how fast I can walk home from school compared to the previous day all the way to how well I did on an exam compared to another person. I know I try to pretend that it is a way for me to get better, which it is, I am leaving out the aspect of having too much of something. If I am to be honest about this, I believe I could most definitely be less competitive and still achieve my life goals.
2. I am not good at taking advice from my parents
When it comes to major life lessons this does not apply because I have intently listened to that advice, however many times I underestimate the simple advice my parents can provide. Even more, I do not utilize it for my advantage. I know that while I may not always agree, perspective is beneficial to myself. It is very hard to think of a simple action like driving and accept correction from someone who isn't the world's driving coach. I have begun to become more coachable as I have recognized this truth that is to be revealed. So, to complete this honest statement, I know I could listen to more of my parents advice.
3. I pity my self in rough situations
I recognize that it is normal for someone to be upset about events that do not go their way, however wallowing in self-pity has taken m from being upset to be more upset. Wile many times I may tell myself I am not pitying my situation but rather solving it, I tend to cross the line without recognizing I am doing so.
So there you have it! Three things that I have not been truly honest about. I hope that you enjoyed this Blogging By Talia and that you can apply this activity to yourself.
