"The 5 Things I Like Most About Myself are..."

Today is Day 3 of the "Week of Blogging" in our Superstars Coaching Group, led by Social Media Coach dotJenna . When I found out what we were doing this week and what the "Assignments" would be I was a little apprehensive. However, this week hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be. Of course, for me anyway, it's a little easier when you are given a topic to write about.


Today's topic is: "The 5 Things I Like Most About Myself are..."


Now, you'd think it would be easy to think of five things that you like about yourself, right? Well, it is, but what are the five things that I like the most about myself? This took a little soul searching. Remember, these are the things I like about myself, not what others like about me or what I would want others to like about me.

So here's my Top 5:


1. Integrity-     This is something that I take a lot of pride in. I was very fortunate to grow up in a home that this was just a way of life. I didn't have to try and learn this later in life, it was instilled in me at an early age. If it had not been, upon joining the United States Air Force in 1997 would have been, as Integrity First is Core Value number one. 


2. Truthfulness-   This isn't one that I have trouble with, but sometimes others have trouble with it. What I mean is, from me, you get the truth. You may like it, you may not. I think this is a very important trait for me as a Realtor® as sometimes people want you to tell them what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. This may be why I turn down almost as many listings as I take. I won't take a listing just for the sake of putting a sign in the yard with my name on it if I don't think I can sell it, it's that simple.


3. The Ability to Think for Myself-   Granted I am always looking to gain insight and input from others on different topics. Many others have much more knowledge in different subjects or maybe just another way of doing something that I hadn't thought of, but this isn't really what I'm talking about. I'm referring to being able to make my own conclusions about something even if I'm going "against the grain" and not agreeing to do something just because someone or a group of people want me to.


4. Work Ethic-   There may be a more streamline way of doing some things that I do, maybe easier, less time consuming. I'd love for someone to show me a better way so I can get more done in less time. However, I don't know of too many people that will work harder at trying to be the best they can be. Sure, someone will always be better, but my goal is to BE that someone.


5. My Stunning Good Looks    My Sense of Humor-   Maybe there was a reason I was voted class clown in high school. Maybe there's something behind being able to make people laugh, especially when they are having a bad day. Maybe it's the kids at church or in my daughter's class at school that are always wanting me to make some type of animal noise? Maybe it was the time that a co-worker's granddaughter to me to school for "Show and Tell"? Maybe, who knows? 


I like being me, it's who I am...
