We want to be at our best. We want the same for our children or better. How do we do that and can we be sure we’ve provided what is needed to guarantee a happy, healthy and productive life. When we’ve been told so many times, “There are no guarantees in life.” Did we give up or give in too soon? What was our original reason and purpose? When the first child was born and then the family grew to two, three, four or more. Each with their own personality, which was a surprise at times to be so different not only in the color of their hair or eyes, but their interests and personality also. Life from the beginning has offered us challenges–to learn and to grow in knowledge and acceptance. How to bring out our best instilling everything needed for a well adjusted child and throughout life. That never ends and that truly is a challenge. We all need to stay healthy in mind, body and spirit. Not only the parents need to be vigilant and aware but when and what is needed, but our leaders also. As well as those who aspire to lead–one day. Teaching our reason and purpose, Our moral values as well. They all intertwined. Working together. United on purpose. Blending and bringing our gifts and talents to fruition. Our personalities too. Collaboration of ideas and talents for understanding of future expectations–all is needed. Set aside our differences and our egos. We want to seriously and fervently and finally learn from our mistakes, our errors caught and stopped before they do more harm than good. We cannot live life alone. We are not capable. We are not that smart, or strong, or powerful. And we’ve learned having too much money just causes so many more problems. It’s the ego thing. We limit ourselves when we no longer care to learn or to understand. We don’t want to work that hard or think too deeply for too long for then we would have to change our ways.is that a personality trait? And if it is. Is it admirable?    

Time and experiences will change our personality. When the rewards are too great for those who take and are replaced with arrogance–that is cold, hard and ruthless. That is a personality trait that is not deserving and can do great harm. Yet, many times are rewarded in excess. Too many have joined the exclusive club of never earned entitlements. Those who are experienced or have been caught in the web of deception, experienced on going trauma and drama in their life will definitely experience a profound affect in their personality–more guarded, more cautious and less trusting. Many rise above it all and learn from these unfortunate encounters.

But, it takes time and a toll on the psyche and will change the personality. Will we learn from the mistakes of the past and recognize the truths of the matter. We cannot create a monster without feelings but is driven by his addiction of power, greed and inflated or frail ego. The personality is just one other aspect that we would perceive in an individual, but some might see or notice something different.  So, it is all relative. We still strive and want to offer the best part of our persona. A personality that is a wealth of information and inspiration. Bringing together with gratitude. And, lights up any room in the process.
