What Would You Change About Yourself?

[so lucky]

Mentioning that everyone has their good and bad points in a different thread got me to thinking about what I would like to change about myself. The thing(s) I am actively working on to make myself a better, more worthy individual----

Mainly, I am working on being less critical of others. I often hear myself making remarks about people's looks or demeanor, especially people on TV. Sometimes it is to get a laugh, but sometimes it just seems plain mean. I am working to change this, by substituting the snide remark I am thinking, with something more loving and generous. I don't say it out loud, but the thought is there. It sort of crowds out the nasty thought.

I know there are other things that I need to change, but I figure I can just work on one at a time.

So, What Are You Trying Change in Yourself?

I would change the fact that I let people walk on me to a point. People (family) say things to me or about me and I dont stand up to them. I have been blunt with a few people in the past and then felt guilty for saying what I've said. BAD trait for me.

I do not want any disorder of mood to have any influence on my life activities.

Depression is not really "there" but it is close to the surface.

Disorders are irrational and zero fun. I have better things to do and better ways to think about things, than to be depressed.

So lucky - I have the same goal as you. I tend to be wayyy too judgemental of other people, and I am making a concerted effort to stop.

A thing i'd change about myself?

Shiny bright dentures and no more pain.
Or maybe, the ability to know the lottery powerball numbers.
That'd fix all of everything for me.
Yea.

I agree with you marshall knowing the powerball numbers would be awesome..... but then you will have relatives you didnt know existed.

I would hate for anyone to change ANYTHING about themselves who makes them what they are.



Though I would like to be an ex-smoker again.... that's a bad habit to pick up over and over again. But I do enjoy being a B#$%^ no matter what anyone says about me!

 

[dewdropsinwv]

LOL vfem!!! I can be a !@#$ too.... wish people would keep their mouth shut about me and my family. I hate people who cause a lot of drama.

This is kind of like the story of the genie that grants 3 wishes. WHy didn't they ask for endless grated wishes from the start?

Perhaps,

that is all that motivation is .

. . a wish.
