Hard Work

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?

Hard work can be a variety of things. It doesn’t necessarily mean physical labor.

When I have a task physical or mental that must be accomplished, I write it down. Sometimes I even break it into steps so I feel I’ve accomplished something even if the task isn’t completed in one go.

Once it is done, I feel a sense of relief and pride. Relief that it is finished and pride in a job well done.

Hate it and love it

What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

The trait I like best about myself is also the trait the hate most about myself. I am a talker. Moving around a lot as a kid, I learned quickly no one is looking for a new friend. Therefore I ended up talking my way to a friendship.

Now as an adult, I can speak to just about anyone and make them feel welcomed and included. I like this about myself.

I also hate that I am a talker because so many times I needed to be a listener. Many times talking is a screen for my fear of being excluded-left out.

While I’m busy making people feel included and welcomed, I’m not listening to what they say.

Brands?

What brands do you associate with?

Interesting prompt. I can’t say I associate with any brand. I have a few favorites but I don’t necessarily buy them exclusively. I think there is too much emphasis on brands. Every Instagram account now seems to be trying to sell me something.

Women seem to think if they carry a Louis Vuitton bag people will think they have money. It’s crazy because fake bags are easy to come by and it takes more than a bag to appear monied.

So no I don’t associate with any brand.
