How aware are you of your own intelligence, creativity, potentials, etc?
Do you think that you try too hard to be clever, or smart?
Do you take yourself “seriously”, maybe too seriously? Or not at all?
Does it not dawn on you at all? Do you not care?
How aware are you of your own stubbornness and it’s hold on you, or lack there of?
And if none of this relates with you.. Are you aware of anything? Just name anything you are conscious about.
Me: I’ve been aware of my own potentials and intelligence, to the point where I tried way too hard to develop myself as a smart thinking and creative individual. I’m not saying that I’m not creative, but as an individual reaching beyond his means eventually finds out..potential can hit a dead end. And so can intelligence. I know I’m not super smart but I’ve definitely pushed my intelligence to its limits, and in my mind, surpassing the limits of my potential. All this to find out that ive been very unaware of who I have been in the past.
Now days, I am aware I have limits, and thats ok. In a way, I no longer care. It’s better that way. I feel no need to prove that I’m smart or more creative than anyone else. Which is a big turn around for me in recent years.
We are all special in many different ways, that’s the mind frame I carry today. I’m aware of the collective potential and intelligence of us all, which is easier to prove. There is no need to take myself so seriously. All I need to be serious about is the potential of others. All I can do is not be stuck in my ways and with any one set philosophy. That is where my intelligence is strongest. 🙂 that I am aware of! I am aware that not being able to change your view points or philosophies can leave you stuck in your own ways (head) with little help from outside sources. I have no set “rules” to how I look at and perceive the world (life). What works for one man can most definitely work for me..is the idea. I am very aware of who I was then and who I am now. And I am very aware of the things that matter not in this world!
Thanks for reading! 🙂 now you share! lol

I probably do try too hard to be “smart”. I know I’m really not! But I try and make up for it by being a know-it-all. I don’t think I’d enjoy being the smartest person in the room, but I do so love being the one who knows things. I’m pragmatic, not creative. I’ve been told I had “potential” for a lot of things, but I don’t think that’s a very meaningful statement. I tend to take myself far too seriously.
I’m far less opinionated than I used to be, just because I’ve learnt that I’m often wrong. Nowadays I can see a grain of truth in just about any given position – but I’m still terribly stubborn in every other way. I was an individualistic, rebellious child. Not much has changed. But I think stubbornness is one of my best assets – it’s made me accomplish things I really shouldn’t have been capable of.
Thanks for posting this 🙂 interesting prompt for self-reflection. It’d be interesting to see how these things change as I get older and mature.
Well this is going to make me think a lot. Thank you.. I think this might help me to some degree..
Well share with us.. It helps to spell it out for yourself and for others to understand more of what you see and don’t see in yourself. No one is trying to blow smoke up your ass.

My only talent is being able to open beer bottles with my teeth.
Okay. I’m not sure if I got this right but here goes.
I’m aware of my intelligence. But not the good kind. I’m aware of how much I can hurt people and how easily I can manipulate them.
I try too hard to seem perfect in other people’s view. I know I’m not perfect. However I still strive to be. I try too hard to be the perfect girlfriend and by doing so I’m probably just becvoming a horrible one. I’m aware of my potential. But at the same time I’m not. I either push myself too hard or not enough. I’m still trying to get my thoughts together.. I’ll probably write some more later.
That’s great..I can feel the gears starting to turn already! 😉
Yes please if you think of more please do. Just seeing it written down can make a world of difference..it’s like drawing yourself a map out of your own head and into emotional stability..in a way. lol
@SB- lol
I thought you were high when i started reading lol @SB haha awsome, usto open them off walls in my day, stopped when i was drunk one night, had my bud broke half the top and didnt notice untill blood started to pour out my moth cause i cut my tongue lol.
Ok here goes. Im aware of the people arround me, in my real life they keep me going, on here they are like a family, best friends people that mean alot. im aware of the fact im never getting better but im also aware of the fact i cant die just yet, did i do good? :-p
How aware are you of your own intelligence, creativity, potentials, etc? – I am aware of what I am capable of, and aware of my intelligence compared to others
Do you think that you try too hard to be clever, or smart? – I try to be me
Do you take yourself “seriouslyâ€, maybe too seriously? Or not at all? – Not at all
How aware are you of your own stubbornness and it’s hold on you, or lack there of? If you mean stubbornness as far as my view points on life, then yes I am aware of it. I wouldn’t say that I’m unable to change my point of view, it’s more like uninspired. I’m not narrow minded, I’m realistic.
Ok I’m back!
