An interesting question for sure! Am I easy going or going easy? What do I mean by that exactly? Well, I am pondering if I have a very refined ability to judge character in people that allows me to quickly align myself with those that excite & compliment me or if it is my attitude that attracts others no matter who they are. I would agree if someone told me I have an amiable personality. I have never had a problem quickly making friends in a room of strangers.
Well, good for you right? So, what? The thing is that this is not always a good thing & something I have to watch, because for every great person or few there are sometimes people that are not who they seem to be. In sociology/psychology, we learn about personality & communication types in people. The one that can sometimes sneak in is the chameleon. This personality & communication type always agrees & can seem very friendly & trustworthy, but many times they have a hidden agenda that they may be looking to work you into. So, we just have to be cautious about who we let into our hearts & lives.
We all make judgments at some level & that is okay, because we have to decide what is best for our own lives. Who we chose to let close can have a large affect on our perception of how happy we are. My amiable attitude & demeanor comes with a little caution because I want to make sure that I continue to surround myself with people that enrich my life & who's life I can enrich in return. This means that I have to ensure that I am easy going & not going too easily toward relationships that are not in line with who I am & want to continue to be. One of my favorite sayings is something I pray for you all, "May God give me the Courage to change what I need to, the Strength to endure that which I cannot, & the Wisdom to know the difference!" Peace, Love, & Happiness to you all!!!
Bless You!
