Are You a One or a Two?
There are at least two totally equally valid approaches to life:# One: I am here to get through life avoiding as much pain as possible and enjoying as much of life as possible. I will work with what I have been given and do my best to bring my knowledge and skills to the game. My life is lived for the times of happiness and connection that come my way.# Two: I am a work in progress. I go through my life looking for challenges and opportunities to grow. I am here to discover and maximize what it means to be human. When presented with challenges I am going to look back to me as the source of growth. I look for teachers and insight to maximize my human potential. In some ways I look for the pain and challenges so that I can grow and become more than what I was. I am going to create and maximize my happiness and connection by doing the deepest work I can find.If our approach is a One, we often get into problems feeling like we need to be a Two. If our approach is a Two, we often still find ourselves acting or living like a One.Which are you? Are you living consistent with your type?If we had a scale between the two approaches:One_________________________|_________________________Two
- Where would you fall on the scale for who you want to be?
- Where would your actions or behaviors fall on the scale? (Does your work match up with who you want to be?)
Draw a scale or print this out and mark an x where you land on each question. Take a daily or weekly reading of where you are functioning on the scale.
