Without reading the guidelines for this question I would have probably rated myself as a 6/10 because I assumed that this is to rate how contented I am with myself. However, it is stated that, "The bigger the gap, the higher you see your potential for growth." so I'm changing my answer to 3/10.
Q2. Why did you give yourself the score in Q1?
As the guidelines for Q1 suggests, it is not because I dislike myself, rather, it is because I see myself becoming better (far, far better) that what I am now. I have big dreams that are still swimming inside my head but the problem is I don't know how to act upon them yet and most of my dreams are on a different road from the ones I have been on so far.
Q3. Now, write down 5-7 traits about yourself you want to work on.
1. Being too passive and not having the initiative to start things.
3. Under-motivated, uninspired
4. Unfocused
5. Not being open to other people. I tend to create an oops-not-too-close barrier between myself and others resulting to poor exchange of communication.
6. Low self-confidence.
7. Content to settle with what is there and not aiming for better.
Day 1 Reflection:
Well, despite what the guidelines in Q1 stated, I guess I sort of dislike myself a little. But I will take that as an encouragement to become a better me.
...and as I was typing my answers in Q3 I realized that most of those traits don't seem to bother me a lot. I mean that when I reflect on it I realized that those negative traits are a constant part of who I am, and I have somehow accepted that. Yikes, sounds a lot like #7. I guess I just have to do my best to manage those traits. ;)
