How do you value yourself?

[Lestat]

What do you think are the things that make you most valuable as a person? Killahbee brought up and interesting point. What are the things that you really think make you unique or interesting? I know there is going to be no way to answer this without feeling conceted, or seemingly stuck up, but try, its not bragging, its just stating facts.

I'd say I'm most proud of my body and mind, I wasn't obese, or too short. I'm hung, fairly athletic, was able to compete in sports most my life, etc. Somewhat asthletically pleasing.

Mind wise, I'm intelligent enough to make it through grad school, hold a great job, and basically keep my shit.

I'm proud of my job, its a job I set out to get in high school and made it reality in my early 20s.

Areas where my life could have been improved. Stronger family. It was basically just the 5 of us, I knew my grandmothers, but only when I was a child. Dad was an only child and my mom's sisters only had one other child. So not many cousins. I see friends that have larger and much tighter and close families. That is something I see as a very positive thing and people tend to be stronger and more secure when they come from a large loving and supportive family.

Work ethic. There are times where I slacked, did the minimum to get by. My first Undergraduate years were like that, and I'll probably pay for that slightly the rest of my life.

i think i'm generally cheerful, witty, and sharp minded. as you know, i WAS fat, so i worked on my personality.
now that i'm not fat anymore, i'd like to think i still have that personality.



i also think i look and act way younger than i really am. not in an immature way, but a fun way.

If it's one thing buddhism taught me, it's that holding your value in anything external or transient is the incorrect path. Because it inevitably means that once that "thing" is gone/lost/taken away, your value is lost. This is essentially materialism. Jobs, family, friends, car, money, house..the list is endless.

I value myself for my soul and my mind. My constant desire to better myself and to seek the truth, no matter how painful, lonely, or difficult that journey may be.





Not sure where a big cock fits in there, though....

hmmm...

1. I'm an extremely loyal and devoted friend/family member. I'm the one to turn to when you need someone who will take the shirt off their back for you.

2. Almost everyone who gets to know me and doesn't prejudge me, likes me.

3. I overcame extreme poverty and worked my own way through law school.

4. I'm a great dancer.

5. I used to be attractive before I gained weight. I was Ms. South Beach in 1994.

6. I'm a great cook.

7. I'm a great trial attorney.

8. I'm laid back, fun, and accepting of other people.

hahahaha, i get your point, and I agree with the Eastern school of thought when it comes to how they view the mind/body and what they consider the spirit. But that's where I take issue, I feel that my soul, spirit, essence, is simply a manifestation of the brain, a physical piece of flesh and blood. Once that is gone, or damaged even, so is your entire being.

What you say about pinning your hopes on any one thing that can be taken away is bad. I say you should hold a great many things pertaining to yourself in high value, so that yes, if you should lose one, or more of any specific things you'd still have something left to hold onto.

Having a big cock is just something that no matter how your day goes, you can go to bed with a smile knowing you've got that punisher tucked away with you for the night ready to take on another day with you tomorrow.

I am obsessed with going that extra mile or 10. I am tenacious, far beyond driven and want to be retired in 5 years. I make everyone around me better and more successful. I am very giving and want to do well for everyone around me.
