Thank you for sharing your views! I look at “labels” as words that represent a specific type of mentality and/or experience. I think that becoming educated on those types of things helps to put our own experiences into a new perspective (hopefully a more productive and loving one). Looking at things in light of that, I have found that I understand my Self better as well as where some discontent lies within. I think that labels can be dangerous if looked at through the eyes of “I am this, and only this and this is bad” and also when it comes to labeling children. I think that everyone has certain tendencies but looking where the tendencies may be bringing about unwanted circumstances (problems) and an imbalance can be extremely helpful. I guess we can call certain things whatever we want, but human behavior isn’t very unique…we all are human LOL And in order to choose a new and more desirable experience, I also find it helpful to understand the experience I have been having and choosing. Food for thought…

OH, Jennifer, this is coming at an interesting time in my curriculum, now isn’t it? The halfway point of the journey with having a 4.0 thus far and starting to feel a little burned out. Today I was wondering why I feel so “off” past two days and then I get your message here.
Thanks for being here for us! Please keep this info flowing.

Let me start by saying this is all an argument based on rhetoric, what “terms” you chose to use to “diagnose” your SELF. That I believe, is a very dangerous place to be. We all have extremely distorted views of the SELF with in us when observed in a microcosm. Our human instincts and our teachings have been to see a problem put a label on it then fix it. What if you take away the words perfectionist, idealist, realist and so on and just focus on the SELF. How does your life feel, are you content? Are you trying to control other or manipulate situations? When your thoughts seem negative, why do you punish yourself for thinking? If you live contently and do not hurt others, share your talents with the world as it allows, then there is no need for any labels but the SELF.

But that is just how I feel about it, lol Lovin you Jen!
