Cause you’ve got personality, walk – personality, talk - personality, smile – personality, charm-personality, love personality. -Lloyd Price (1933-), singer, songwriter.
One thing that amazes me is that we can go through life and never really know ourselves that well. I mean short of a Psychology 101 class, no one seems to really take the time to help us figure out how we are wired…why we behave the way we do…why we react the way we do and most importantly why we deal with challenges, especially involving other people the way we do!
The frustration we cause each other is really the bain of our existence, the main stumbling block to a better life. After all, don’t you agree that those people that learn the secrets to getting along with others really do live a more peaceful life? Even though there are those that would rather escape to the confines of the wilderness and contemplate nature by talking to trees, the majority of people still yearn for the love and attention of others so we better figure this out.
So how do the well-adjusted do their thing…why do they always seem so agreeable, so non-argumentative? The answer may be as easy as they know themselves really well, which in turn allows them to adapt more easily. So how do they figure themselves out…have they found some wise, old guru meditating at the top of a hill that shares with them the great secrets or life or is it much less complicated than that?
For me the pathway to enlightenment came the first time I was introduced to a very simple personality profile test.Really nothing complicated at all, rather a basic quadrant that divides us up into one of four types. The first a “D”…the dominant driven type; the second an “I”, the natural salesperson, the sharply dressed; the third an “S”, those that crave steadiness and finally the “C”, those that crave compliance and detail.
