I understand everyone is different. And I am thankful for that.
We need to have the easy going people, the fun people, the peace people, the people that don't want to hurt other's feelings.
But we also need the finishers. We need people that can start a project and get it to the finish. Otherwise, things get started and then just stall and go by the wayside. I do understand some times circumstances change and the way a project starts must bend and flow and it may not need to be completed the same way we thought it did.
As long as it gets done though.
I can look at an overall picture of a project and see the individual steps that need to be taken to get to the end.
It's a blessing and a curse really.
I love making things happen. I see all kinds of little check marks and boxes and stuff getting done and I just light up! But then when it's not happening on my timeline or I see inefficiencies -- I just have to stop and breathe.
We went to a great marriage conference a few weeks ago "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage". He had a great quiz on different personalities and what make us tick.
So basically, we all live in these different "countries". Peace, Control, Fun and Perfect countries. We all are motivated differently, speak different languages and the like.
It's fun that God made us all differently. We have to use each other's talents to get along really. I'm definitely "Control" country. I'm learning to go to the other countries. I usually can't stay long but it's good to visit them every once in a while.
So if I come across pushy, or gruff, or in a hurry- it's just because I'm trying to finish.
