Since I missed yesterday’s challenge, I’m doing it with today’s challenge.

Day 14: What do you like most about yourself?

I like that I’m a naturally happy person. I have the desire to enjoy anything life throws at me because the way I see it, smiling, laughing and enjoying the moment are more important than winning or losing. It doesn’t sound so easy though. Life can be hard and not everything is pleasant. There are also times when I run out of patience, and I can get discouraged, sad, pissed and a little potty-mouthed. I’m only human anyway.

I also like that my being naturally happy comes with being adventurous, risky, playful, having the ability to entertain myself and not get sad and bored even when I’m alone, and the desire to get to know people, especially from different backgrounds than myself.

But sometimes my happiness can get a little out of hand. I can be crazy happy, like I’m high and hyper, that even myself gets annoyed and exhausted by it. Guess I just have to learn how to bottle the extra happiness. They can be quite useful on days when I’ve gone astray from the sunny side of the street.

Day 15: What do you dislike most about yourself?

It’s a tie between being bad at time management and not having enough patience.

I can be such a procrastinator and a slacker. Most of my free time are spent on sleeping and being idle in front of the computer. That makes me sad because I could have been a lot more productive. I’m aware of it, but it still requires a good dose of motivation for me to get going. Discipline, discipline, discipline!!!

I honestly think I’m a lot more patient now than before. I used to be really impatient on just about everything (and everyone), especially when I was in high school. God must have wanted me to be patient because it seems that almost everything I’ve gone through and still going through have been about being patient. I’m learning, slowly but surely.
