Greening Up My Soul




I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I'm a
Spiritual Self-Improving Extrovert





So I took the quiz. Because I don't really know how to add a link, etc, I tried to do it the correct way. I don't like that it says: "Buy the Book." I have chased that box around and tried to delete it. It's squirmed and grown and shrunk...but it won't disappear. Sorry!

Don't know if this is a good book to buy but my "diagnosis LOL" reminded me to think about how "Being Greener Than The Day Before" is about my soul too.

Especially my soul.

If my soul is out of sorts, then my mind is, and if my mind is out of sorts, then my direction is, and if my direction is out of sorts, then the gift of my life is careening out of control...what will it be worth?

I don't feel I have to earn my value in my life. I believe my relation with Jesus has set me free from any of that baggage. BUT, because of that gift, shouldn't my life be lived as big and and with as much gratitude as possible?

And shouldn't my soul be as green as it can be?

Meaning, to me, as empty of anger, fear, disappointment, resentful, jealousy, regret, greed, covetness, anger, unforgiveness, etc....as it can be. I've suffered all these things, made them up, borrowed them, caused them, inherited them, hoarded them in my heart. When in reality, all I needed was to ask for God to help me. Why do we (maybe only me?) hang onto these things longer than we need to? These are poisons I need detoxed from my spirit more than any other detox...

I reaffirm to myself to ask God for help to remain humble, to be reminded to love instead of hate, to forgive immediately, to rejoice for another's good fortune, to be content and grateful for what I have and even for what I need.

I make a covenant with myself to green up my soul!
I need that strength to become Greener Than The Day Before!

So what is a spiritual, self-improving extrovert? Hmmmm... I have no idea! LOL!
  • Lots of people call themselves spiritual...that's a wide continuum
  • Self-improving...got that...I can always do that
  • Extrovert? Noooot sure about that either. Work made me extroverted but I think I'm less so in my personal life.
Wow, a whole other discussion! Having to design a personality for work...LOL


However, I digress. On a high note, I am familiar with 43.things.com. Even have a short list with them. It is a fun way of designing your "bucket list' and finding others who can lead the way and sometimes how they did.

It's a cheery place to viisit! Another way to keep your soul and mind and heart greened up and full of love!
