I think (for the moment) the most underrated trait is Adapting...
it is a rather Positive attribute that my mother has probably always talked about.. unconsciously...
but today I see the merits.. with adapting you learn tolerance, patience... and the best part? you get to learn.
I think reading linda goodman's sunsigns book on personality traits, as a child, affected me rather not-positively.. it reinforced the least-peace-giving parts of my personality i.e. stubborn as a bull... I used to relate that bull headed tendency with a firm will, immense will power and the strength to stick your ground.. which it Is... also.
but it can also translate into rigidity, not seeing anothers' perspective, being stuck in the old, not evolving, rooted to the past... which is least joyful and the opposite of growth.
i truly believe the Universe has conspired (like it does for all of us) to place me in a situation via certain pulls of the heart-mind-desire to be around those who will always share with me the transparent truth. for only with such mirrors can you see yourself without romanticising what you carry... but today with Grace it suddenly struck me that when i adapted today.. much like a birthday at least 5 years ago, i learnt how to do something that i felt was beyond my grasp.
as i navigated the unfamiliar trail with steps clearly marked... waiting for a mind to follow through... i felt proud and happy with the result.. "I can do this," too ;)
a happy diet-coke cheers to consciously adopting Adapting :*
love to all
may we all continuously find more ways to peace... hugs!
