Personal Tendencies
Our personalities make us all very susceptible to certain tendencies. The things that drive us in a positive direction can sometimes cross left of center and veer right into the path of something that can very easily destroy us.
For me, I have a very focused personality, and if I’m not careful I can become too focused on something and forget about EVERYTHING else. I also have a very addictive personality. When I get involved something I get involved with everything that I have. Because of my personality it’s hard for me to do anything half way. That doesn’t mean that I need to change. It just means that I need to be aware.
Because I know what my personal tendencies are I keep myself in constant check. I make sure I’m committing to things that are worth my time and effort. I only focus on things that are worthwhile and beneficial. Otherwise, I would end up in some dark places.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a pastor, CEO of a company, or a soccer mom, we all have personal tendencies that we need to keep in check. These things may be easy to see for some of us, but for others they are hiding in plain view as positive things, but when left unchecked can cause a lot of destruction in our lives.
Here’s my challenge to you. Get to know yourself and keep yourself in check. Your life will have much more of an impact if you can.
