Chris Writing Anything

Everybody, and I mean just about everyone, possesses positive traits. Some attributes, along with those who possess them, are more visible than others. Today, being that it’s WordPress’s prompt, I feel obliged to do some soul searching. Can I see the good in myself?

At first, when reading this prompt, and choosing an excellent trait I possess, I thought of my persistence. Yet, sometimes being too determined can be a detriment. And many times, as I reflect upon past ventures, throwing in the towel wasn’t always the worst choice.

When I think more about myself, I realize I’m always willing to improve. That’s a valuable trait, at least, well, it does serve me well. Sometimes, making improvements, and the tedious points needed to gain a more skillful self, is a slow process.

And yeah, right now, I’m feeling it. I’ve been confronted with a few challenges, ones I have to constantly focus on. Admittedly, sometimes my mind reverts to old habitual thoughts. Yet, I want to make the change; there’s so much I strive to be. With those daunting hurdles lying on the path, I hear my father’s words of advice. “How do you eat an elephant?…one bite at a time.”

Persistence and patience: I believe self improvement stems from these traits. And, as I’ve grown older, I believe I’m gaining a better grasp of those attributes.

I do like to challenge myself, and becoming better, at just about anything, is definitely challenging.

Have an excellent day!
