I read somewhere that getting to jot down the things you love about yourself is the hardest part of self evolution. It is a great exercise though, and in my endeavor to write down 6 good things about myself, I did struggle. 1) I am optimistic. I have stood up from the fall, every time. 2) I am a good listener. 3) Inspite of my short stature, I have a big, accommodating heart 4) I have honest and beautiful eyes. 5) I am a sister. 6) I laugh at myself. Share things you love about yourself.

WOW six things I love about myself well that might be a tiny bit difficult because I'm not very vane lol, but I'll give it my best shot 1. I love my lively personality I like laughing and having a good time 2. I love my creativity I enjoy art and animation and just being creative in general 3. I love my open mind, I have my own views but I'm open minded and can listen to others views without taking offence or having anger towards opposing views points 4. I love my my big heart I care about others and I don't like seeing people sad or hurt, I love humanity and enjoy the company and friendship of others 5. I love that I have a inner mixture of an optimistic and realistic attitude 6. I love my ability to overcome obstacles I have been in many situations that might have broken someone else but I have been able to use my intelligence and inner strength coupled with my believe in god to overcome situations. My goodness that was sort of hard I had to think for second or two hahaha.

May be it was hard for you but your close ones can go on and on, I am sure. You are a sweet and a great human. Be the way you are - that's what makes you what you are.

Hi Mimpi! Good Morning! It is a very good post. This kind of questions are asked when one goes for interview/group discussions specially for placement/recruitment in the Armed Forces. Please allow me to take a cue from your list. I can say that am optimistic and do not give up hope easily. I always think positively and believe that God will come to my rescue when am in trouble. Over the years, I have developed patience. I listen to everyone with due patience before answering him/her. I do not have inferiority or superiority complex. I could be humble and courteous on most of the occasions. I try to control my anger in the best possible manner. I love to laugh and above all make others laugh and smile. I can go on and on …………….but it will blowing like one’s own trumpet, therefore, I will stop here.

I can go on and on when it comes to you Deepak. Can vouch for what you have to say there and more. You always make people around you feel happy, belonged and loved. That's an extra ordinary thing!

I think it's probably a good idea to not include in the list any kind of physical/outer attributes. I just realized this as I was about to put 1.) "my hair". And then I was thinking, what kind of thing is that to say?! There must be something better and more legitimate than that... or "my taste in music". Lol. Something a little more deep. But it's so hard to think of this kind of stuff. Maybe because we live in a mindset to put ourselves down. Just a thought. Okay, let me give this a shot: (by the way I really like your list. Very thoughtful). 1.) I am a hard worker. 2.) I am generous. I like buying gifts for people and money doesn't have THAT much power in my life. 3.) I have great friends (does this count?! Agh this is hard!!) 4.) I like to make people happy. But I don't let them take advantage of that. 5.) I have a sense of humor. And I try to bring it out in most people I meet (usually successfully!). Okay this is taking me far too long. It's scary that it's so hard to think of six little things like that off the top of your head.

Maezee, I agree with you. At times, however, we should appreciate our outside also - they do contribute towards making a beautiful within. Having good friends certainly goes to show the kind of person you are. You not only are a great human who does justice to friendship but also your friends love you for what you are. either way you are a winner.

Oh Gosh! That makes you my mom! So much similarity! Another thing, my mother never criticizes anyone, she just does the right thing at the right moment even for those who are not deserving. She never commands but leads through example. I am sure you too do that. Love you Kala.

Hi Mimpi, If you had asked me to list a few things that I love about you that job would have been very very easy. But writing six things that I like about myself??? Well I could not think of anything...except repeating whatever you have said about yourself. Except having beautiful eyes. May be I need some more introspection. For the last few years everything seems to be going Topsy turvy that I have had no time to think about myself. May be I should first start with a Gratitude Journal and then I will be able to think of positive things about myself!!!

1) You are a fighter. You never quit. 2) You are a giver who never ceases to render your most even when you are in difficulty. 3) You have a big heart that can accommodate everyone, even those who have harmed you. 4) You are beautiful and you wear your heart on your sleeves. 5) You are a great mom. The children will realize it sooner. 6) You have no idea what you can do. Continue exploring within and you will discover the gem. And I love you...always.

Part of loving yourself is to know your areas of strengths. What I love about myself is being an optimist. Though there are times that I feel bad about myself or to life, I always try to be optimist and it quite gives me a lot of relief. I am also a good friend and listener as well. I am a kind wife to my husband and daughter to my parents. I love myself for being a cheerful and friendly person. That's what I have so far.

1. I am a fast learner. 2. I am a good face-to-face listener. 3. I am a persuasive type of guy, when I require anything, I'm always receiving it - yeah well, almost everything! 4. I prefer to hang out with girls, meaning I get to know which girl I want since I know how they act and what are their requirements - even thought all the qualities of a female differ from one to another, I bring this fact to knowledge pretty quick. 5. I possess a strong sense of duty and loyalty.

This is a tough one indeed. Had you asked for a list of things that I dislike about myself, I probably would have listed them pretty fast and long. Well, here goes, after having pondered over for some time.. 1.Patience, in many respects not only when waiting for something, but also in situations. 2.Standing by my friends and loved ones through thick and thin and doing things wholeheartedly for them. 3. My ability to adapt to circumstances 4. Being non violent- I hate physical fights and fist cuffs and would not get into them 5. I like challenges and things which challenge my mental abilities 6 .I learn quickly,many times by doing mistakes, but I learn fast

I can vouch for those there! I think patience, perseverance help us stay put through harder times making us stronger with our conviction. Non-violence is beautiful and it defines humanity. Sadly, we come across only a few who are really giving and tolerant. So amen to that.

I know all of that Paula. You are a great human above all. And indeed it's a hard job getting to list your positives and I am sure you have missed a lot of them there. Just be the way you are. Hugs.

Now's definitely a good time to squeeze my brain out on this one: 1] I'm hardworking and I can adapt to any given situation 2] I'm a pretty good singer, probably my best talent 3] I tend to have a good sense of humor when my head is on straight 4] I'm a fighter, I don't easily back down especially when I know I'm right 5] I'm a frank person, being a fake is a no-no to me 6] I love to laugh..it's a pretty good medicine:)
