Thought this would be a good discussion for others to consider.

Rummaging through a box filled with written documents of past life which are great to go back and discover for yourself and it might open door ways again newly in your life. Going through the journaled documents came across a page that has a lot of questions on it. For me am not very good at asking others questions and it is something that I still struggle with today.

But the question was what do you like the most about yourself, and dislike about yourself?
The values and priorities.

These are a few values I like about myself: The values are trying not to be the most important person over others, allowing others to be expressive in any way they choose to do so, uplifting others instead of trying to push them around and push them into a ditch hoping they break a leg.

There are a few things I dislike about myself too and they involve: - Unable to share with others about my feelings, dislike having outburst of anger that lead to destroying relationship with others; when I fail to be considerable of others in their own situations and circumstances.

A few priorities I like about myself are that of being able to work a job, pay bills, socialize somewhat, and the main one is trying to put God first in almost every step of the way.

This was written possibly around 2019.

Do you do you think it good to self evaluate and write out things you dislike or like about yourself?

What are some of the likes, and dislikes of the values and priorities that you find valuable to knowing who you are as a person?

Evaluating ourselves can only be a good thing and putting any part of it down in writing will only help the process. Journaling is an established way to sort one's self / feelings / thoughts.

I dislike looking much at myself. I find my perceptions and opinions of myself to be faulty.

Much love!

I like my honesty.

I dislike my hesitancy to share the truth in key moments. Especially the gospel. Im working on it.

I’m honest.

Dislikes:

I truly do care for the lost but feel quite useless in witnessing to them. Seems like no one wants to talk about God.

I’m not patient enough yet - a work in progress.

Sometimes I feel like the air around me is choking the gospel out of me. The environment and people's faces create this barrier and I can feel the hostility toward the things of God.

Im hoping to get bolder as I let go of the things of this world.
