The Yin & Yang of this Muse (Things I suck and excel at)

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." ~ Ambrose Redmoon

~*~*~*~*~*~

All right, courage it is…

I will have courage to list openly my faults, and I will temper that with my strengths too.

THINGS I SUCK AT:
~Losing (I am a horrible sore loser, especially at console gaming, pvp, etc)
~Hand/Eye Coordination (I am forever dropping things… truly. It’s so annoying)
~Math (Don’t get me started)
~Intelligent conversation (No, this is not a put down. What I mean to say is that I get confused easily, especially on topics I’m not well versed on… like government etc)
~Being less Judgemental (See my shadow self in my prior post here, for some good tips on this as it pertains to me
~Handling rejection (I will avoid it at all costs, because I can not handle it well at all)
~Handling my anger (yes, I am high strung, angry, etc. It’s why I always try to walk on the light side…)
~Avoiding depression (My glass is half empty most of the time)
~Saving Money (I usually don’t have it anyway, but when I DO I’m horrible at keeping it.)
~Letting go of big past hurts. (I really struggle with this one… in a lot of ways.)
~Being more cautious with new people in my life. (Also one of my strengths for various reasons)
~Tennis on the Nintendo Wii (Shockingly Google man offered this one. Maybe it’s because we played like 15 games of it and I won ONCE. But truly, the sensors were off… I went for every ball, and swung and swung … It must be the games fault :P)
~Going to sleep on time (But who wants to go to bed on time!!! So I still act like a child on this one, but … I’m forever young, so it’s all good)

So many more I could list…but onto the good things.

THINGS I EXCEL AT:
~Expressing myself (MOST of the time I am able to verbalize what I’m feeling in some creative way)
~Loving openly (Interesting eh since I said I’m judgemental? But I do love openly for the most part, however when I DO judge, I judge hard)
~Singing (I LOVE to sing… )
~Making Soap :P (SOOO fun)
~Hugging (Nothing better than a deep hug with a full heartbeat accompanying the warmth of an embrace)
~Kissing (well yes, I kiss with passion, there can’t be a BAD kiss when done with passion… ok well maybe but not MINE :P)
~Helping people find their strengths (There is no greater feeling than when you are able to highlight the beauty of a person’s soul)
~Listening to people
~Shining my light (On good days, I can almost envision the light inside me radiating out like a lighthouse beacon to all those who need it most.)
~Crying (Cleansing tears are always good)
~Feeling other people’s pain and helping them deal with it (I try, and I’ve been told I do well. Though it’s not as easy as people think)
~Passion (I have so much of it in so many situations.)
~Strong Character (Courtesy of Google Man who seems to think that I am strong in my character… hmmm)
~Laughing and being Goofy (Another Google man submission. He seems to think I’m good at being goofy. I have to admit; on a good day nothing can kill my smile)
~Motivation & Determination (Ok I have to cut google man off from his drink or whatever he’s smoking, because this one floors me. I’m motivated only when I want to be. To me motivation and determination are constant. But I applaud him for saying I have these… :)

THINGS THAT OTHERS THINK I’m GOOD AT:
~Being intelligent. (HAH! I’m being ordered to not comment on this one, and just accept it as it is. So with slight resignation I will shut my mouth :P)


Ok so I have 13 things I suck at, and 15 I’m good at. Hmm maybe it’s time for some change ;) So take some stock, what do you think of your faults and strengths? Be bold, be daring you know you want to :P

Most importantly though, be well today everyone.

You are a blessing to me everyday.
