I chose to ask my friends about how I had changed so that I could try to assess whether the change in my personality was for the better or for the worse. This was a rather interesting situation since I had asked my friends to essentially ‘dissect my personality’ of the past and compare it to that of the present. I was happy to learn that I had managed to overcome some of my weaknesses, and even turned some of them into strengths. While I managed to add strengths to my personality, I also developed new weaknesses that I need to work on. I found this to be true not only with myself but also with others that I know well enough to be able to ‘dissect’.

As we move along in life, we try to better ourselves so that we do not let our weaknesses overcome us. While we manage to master these weaknesses, we gain new strengths as well as new weaknesses. This cycle of self-improvement will repeat countless times in our life until we leave the world.

Today, I pose no question — these are merely my thoughts/observations that I wish to share with you.
