There is a lot to be said for the role you play in your life and that of others. Once you understand where you stand, life can become a lot easier.Each of us fall under one of the following:
Protectors or Guides: are individuals who inherently care about people and want to ensure that they are safe and taken care of.
Listeners: are individuals who are sounding boards for the people that they are with and genuinely listen those who speak to them and pay attention to the actions others take around them.
Takers: are individuals that choose to continuously seek the guidance of others and focus their thoughts and efforts on themselves.
Mediators: are individuals who inherently care about people, listen to them and also choose to seek the guidance of others to focus on themselves.
The question is…where do you fall?
Once you determine who you are, you have to determine whether it is really someone that you want to be. One of the most difficult things that we have to do in our lives is to take time to figure out who we are.
Many aren’t happy with what they find, others are shocked. But if you take a moment now and look within yourself, perhaps you can evolve into what you really should be.
Value you those in your life and the role they play, they may not be there forever.
