Personal Inventory

Myrtle Beach, S.C.

It’s interesting how we constantly judge and gauge others yet forget to take our own personal inventory!

Do you feel that you are; street smart, book smart or have common sense? Most people would answer yes to at least one of these. If you have at least two out of the three and still aren’t successful in life, then you should be asking yourself why?

Sometimes we may be very intelligent human beings or have lots of common sense, but a major flaw can destroy all of it. Flaws such as low emotional intelligence, self esteem, arrogance, obsessive controlling or compulsive disorder (OCD), etc. can discredit you and diminish your relationship with others. These flaws can totally discredit and serve as an injustice to your intelligence, therefore preventing you from excelling in several facets of life.

Struggling with a chronic-illness is one major variable that can cause lots of flaws and destroy ones self esteem, ability to deal with stress and process information, therefore inhibiting your ability to communicate to others successfully.

So how or can we rise above this problem without being viewed as inept or self destructing?

From my own experience, I know there are important emotional steps that I must practice. Steps such as: tolerance, patience, forgiveness, perseverance, self-awareness and confidence.

These emotional actions seem simple but when you put them to practice you will find it’s not all that easy. Not easy but you must continually persevere and practice them in order to rise above. I have wiped out several times but I continue to pull myself back-up and try again.

Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
