Tim-bit for the week
Who are you, really? During the past few months several people have said to me – I want to know the real Tim. I have thought about this a lot and have even started wondering – who am I really? Or was this question posed by some people because the real me that was present wasn’t who they wanted and were hoping that somewhere beneath the surface was a person that they really wanted me to be. I could go really deep here but it’s early and my coffee is getting cold so I’ll keep it on the light side and short as much as I can. We are all multi faceted individuals. We act different when we are happy, sad, and angry under stress and in uncomfortable situations and this list is endless. So who are we really? Am I the same in front of an audience as I am when dancing with my partner? Are you the same person when you are with a date or your spouse as you are at work? Some of you might quickly say – of course I am different depending on who I am with. Then let me leave you with a thought – are you comfortable with each of the traits of the person you are in these different situations or do you feel the need to role-play?
Question for the week
Do you put yourself under stress when you have to play different roles or are you comfortable with being who you are no matter who you are with?
