Being too comfortable is a dangerous place to be in; because that's when you get the most upset when something changes the equilibrium.
I have a phlegmatic personality, which means I'm kind of laid back, and dislike challenges and change of any sort. Most of the time, even though I know that the change is good for me and challenges make me grow, my lack of inertia makes me miserable instead of being excited and embracing it like some people do.
But God loves me too much to allow me to stagnate in a place for too long. He sees that there is still much work He needs to do in me. And so God, in His loving way, presents me with challenges that I can't possibly refuse, and He coaxes me to grow. Gently, slowly, but surely, He is shaping me into what He intends for me to be. And I, His child, count it a privilege.

Phlegmatic personality?! Emmm.....I thought you're one of the the "POPULAR SANGUINE!" :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm sanguine too, and also a melancholy! Yeah, I'm confused myself! Actually, I've got all the bad points of the different personality types. Instead of easy going, I'm just plain lazy, instead of being the light of the party, I'm just a big show-off and instead of being sytematic etc, I have a tendency to get depressed! So now you know! :-P
ReplyDeleteHiya, no-lar, you are not show-off!
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you quietly about my temperament (Popular Sanguine? Perfect Melancholy? Peaceful Phlegmatic? or Powerful Choleric?)when we meet, k? I discovered it during a training last Thursday. After that, I asked so many questions until one of the trainers asked me to tell her what I think I am. :)
