The other day my friend, Jackie, sent me an article on “20 Things Mentally Strong People Do.” Sooooo after reading through the article, I realized my top two strengths & top two weaknesses.

Ok, so bear with me…a little self-reflection going on tonight—

Strengths:

+ Not Listening To The Opinions Of Others:

I def don’t listen to people that bash my ideas. I stand my ground with any ideas/thoughts. Three years ago people were confused when I told them I was a blogger. Now? People get it. I’m so glad I didn’t listen to other’s opinions years ago because TSC wouldn’t exist.

+ Throwing In The Towel:

I simply won’t quit. When I set my mind to something, I give it 100%. Practice makes perfect.

Weaknesses:

+ Trying To Please People:

Sometimes I try to please everyone. And honestly? It’s exhausting. Sometimes ya gotta say “F it!” LOL. I’m learning as I get older to say no, no, NO, & NOOO. Remember this post?

+ Refusing Help From Others

I’m a control freak. Like, it’s a problem. But hey, I’m workin’ on it. I can’t control everything ( even though I want to : ) ). I guess I’m a work in progress.

Ok, so one of my favorite things about the article was number 7.

So why number 7?

Welp, it reads like this: “getting jealous over the success of others: when others succeed, you should be happy. If they can do it, so can you. The success of others does not, in any way, lessen the chances of you succeeding. If anything, it should motivate you to keep pushing forward.”

Hmmm.

Why get jealous? I’d rather collaborate than compete. It’s too exhausting to be competitive. & ultimately, everyone’s different. Soooo why waste a damn second being jelly of someone else?

Yawn, right? ZZZzzzz.

Put that energy towards creating, loving, family, & friends.

Because negative energy breeds negative energy. And man-oh-man, jealously is seriously negative.

I sincerely try to project happiness towards all my family/friends/acquaintances/etc. who are killing it. It inspires me to work harder in general.

Jealously’s an ugly green monster that sucks ass.

Point: be yourself ( & own it ); everyone else is taken.

So back to the article— let’s face it: there’s always a need for improvement. At the end of day I want to grow and learn as much as possible.

So. On that note, happy Monday, errr…I mean Tuesday!
