What Do I Like About Me?

You know it’s normal for most people to find it hard to answer, what do you like about you? In general, people don’t like to talk about what they like about themselves because it may come across as being conceited or boastful to others. Instead we look for others to point out our best traits, when we should be looking inwards to gather this ourselves.

Some believe that following the 10 commandments makes them a good person but that is not all that makes up your character. God didn’t design you just to follow the commandments, he made you special and different from every other individual for a purpose. He has given you gifts to share with your family, friends and people he has put in your path. Do you even know what your gifts are? This question goes hand in hand with the question what do you like about yourself?

Most of us know our shortcomings and we strive to be better but we don’t stop to appreciate our best qualities that makes up our character. I too was guilty of not looking inward to see these qualities. I know that I am a good person but what made me a good person? I had never asked myself this question but when I did, I got out a piece of paper to write it all down. I wanted to be able to reflect back to what I like about myself when I am feeling down so that I could bounce back quicker.

Below are the qualities that I know I have and that I know that I like about myself:

• Humor
• Building up others
• Listening ear
• Patience
• Help and guidance
• Faith
• Loving people
• Forgiveness
• Seeing the good in others
• Work ethics
• Taking care of the behind the scenes
• Being humble
• Thankfulness
• Acceptance of God’s plans
• Honesty

It wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be once I wrote down the first one. The more I read what I wrote, the more I fall in love with myself and what I have to offer others. God gives us these gifts to share and I do my best to share mine with the people that I am surrounded by. Some may reject it or take advantage of it but how selfish am I if I don’t share it?

Now I challenge you to get out your journal or a piece of paper and write down what you like about yourself. Not what everyone else likes about you but what you truly like about yourself. This is the core that makes up your character. You can add to the list at anytime but whatever you do, keep it. Anytime that you feel down or feel like you are focusing too much on your flaws, take out this list to remind yourself of all the good things you have to offer. You have a lot to offer but you have to learn to appreciate it and let it shine!
