*1 I am a nit-picker. I'm not even one hundred percent sure that is a word but if it's not it means that I basically pick at things, a lot of things. I can find something decent and pick it apart. I do this with myself more than anything (that's probably where my list writing constantly comes from). I have to put forth a lot of effort to sometimes nit-pick the good things and I hope I can get better at it.
*2 I am too tender-hearted when it comes to my family and my baby. I let even the littlest actions from hurtful people get the best of me when it comes to my people. I am hoping to get a better backbone with that aspect.
*3 I am obsessed (obsessed) with sleeping. I would miss almost any event, make it to work barely on time and miss a meal if I am able to get ten more minutes. I probably need to inspire myself to get to sleep at a better time to defeat that bad habit.
*4 I tend to be too passionate. If there is something I set my sights on or want to achieve I think nonstop about getting and loose focus of the rest of my life. My passion usually morphs into competitiveness, and the worst people are competative people.
*5 I am unforgiving. If you have hurt me or a loved one I legitimately stuggle to ever get over it. EVER. It's not healthy. I actually may be good at forgiving but it's probably the forgetting part I can't let go of completely. Grudges are not attractive on anyone, not matter the circumstance..
*6 I have a really hard time not being condescending... And that's just an understatement. When someone makes asinine or uneducated remarks I have a hard time not letting them know. I have no tolerance for ignorance and it's very shown. I have a zero patient level when it comes to a person who constantly displays their ignorance and it shows so much. If my condescending thought comes into my head it almost always comes right out of my mouth. I was raised to believe that it's never cute to be dumb. Mother Theresa said, "That if you judge people you have no time to love them". And, seriously the ones that need to be loved the most are the most un-lovable.
*7 Like stated in the matter of motherhood, my family and especially my baby I am way overly sensitive and take that way too much to heart. Not only that but if someone attacks anyone or anything close to me I have such a hard time to not retaliate. I am sensitive so I cry but not hard enough to always turn the other check but enough to retaliate...
“People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

So, those are the seven habits I am hoping and aspiring to change eventually. I mean, I obviously have a ton more bad habits...(I am stubborn, I love soda, I bite my nails, I cuss like a sailor, I am terrible at cleaning, I have a temper... The list is endless). If I used these habits for positive things it would be such a blessings. Advice? And what are yours?
