I feel so fat today.
I don’t know what is going on with my body. Regardless, I have been feeling great because most of the people I have contacted for interviews for my website have all said YES. They think what I’m doing is great and they are all eager to participate and be celebrated for their accomplishments.
After my website launched I had to do some serious revamping of my content style and the process in which my content is presented. There’s no way I can produce a whole month’s worth of content on one subject by myself so I decided to do bi-weekly fantasies instead. I’m excited about next week’s fantasy, it’s called Embracing Your Fantasy. I’ll share tips on how to become more imaginative and I’ll profile people who are currently in pursuit of their dreams. I’ll also feature the Rob & Keisha engagement story: Remember the Ritz. It has the details of what he did to make his fantasy engagement come true, how they met and when the wedding will be.
This website is a selfish venture I’ll tell ya. My website encourages ME everyday. I feel like it’s my little baby. Since I want readers to visit everyday, I mke sure to feed them a new story of inspiration everyday and so far everyone is loving it! I’m so glad!
I feel like my gift is being appreciated and that’s all I wanted. Now if I could only generate some steady income from it my next fantasy of bringing my children here with me will come true. If you enjoy what I’m presenting and you’d like to donate or advertise to support my cause, please let me know.
Because we’re almost done with the fantasy: Celebrating Yourself, everyday I’ve been in a good mood. Last night I posted an entry where I talked about exploring your strengths and weaknesses through researching the personality types. I learned that my personality type is INFP: The Idealist.
Damn that was a great read! I believe that besides being a great catalogue of my forthcoming success, this blog could also become a serious case study for my personality type. Just look at these excerpt from my research and tell me if you think what they are saying describes who I am based on what you’ve learned about me from my blog.
True or False?
INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves.
Who wants to heal the world more than I do?
INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP’s value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same – the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.
Call it intuition or imagination but I’m beginning to think I have psychic powers. Even when you don’t reveal yourself to me, I can tell who you are and how you really feel anyway. Sometimes I can even “hear” people’s true heart in words like if they are saying a sentence and they let it trail off or if they say one word I can tell they meant to say another but they want to hide what they really feel. But I don’t say anything, I just allow them to think I don’t know.
When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet.
See! It’s not my fault I don’t like to clean up. Blame it on my personality type!
INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don’t give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members’ of the group. In group situations, they may have a “control” problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living.
Ohhh…Control problem? ME? No wonder I’d prefer to work alone, at least I know my end result will be of the highest caliber. And Tamara tells me all the time, “You need to give yourself more credit, Tee.”
INFPs feels tremendous loyalty and commitment to their relationships. With the Feeling preference dominating their personality, harmony and warm feelings are central to the INFP’s being. They feel a need to be in a committed, loving relationship. If they are not involved in such a relationship, the INFP will be either actively searching for one, or creating one in their own minds.
INFPs tendency to be idealistic and romantically-minded may cause them to fantasize frequently about a “more perfect” relationship or situation. They may also romanticize their mates into having qualities which they do not actually possess.
~relieved~ I feel better about being in love with my fantasy man. He’s probably not as wonderful as I imagine him to be but I love placing people on pedestals because I love to remind people why they are great. I can’t help it, it’s who I am and someone will love me for it one day.
One real problem area for the INFP is their intensive dislike of conflict and criticism. The INFP is quick to find a personal angle in any critical comment, whether or not anything personal was intended. They will tend to take any sort of criticism as a personal attack on their character, and will usually become irrational and emotional in such situations.
~blushing~ Yeah… Tamara tells me I do that all the time. I hope she understands now and I’ll try to work on not being like that so much.
Although cautious in the beginning, they become firmly loyal to their committed relationships, which are likely to last a lifetime. They take their relationships very seriously, and will put forth a great deal of effort into making them work.
So true. Even when I want to quit in a relationship, I can’t because I’m loyal, especially when I feel like the person could benefit from my unconditional love. That is why, for the most part, I used to endure abusive relationships. I just won’t let go so the other person feels like they have to be cruel to me in order to get me to stop loving them so hard.
I love learning about myself and embracing who I am. Even though I sometimes compare myself to my friends…at the end of the day I am so glad I’m ME!
