I saw this on Nigeria Village Square and was amazed at how perfectly it applied to me
I AM THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGER What I Like About Being a Challenger
- Being independent and self-reliant
- Being able to take charge and meet challenges head on
- Being courageous, straightforward, and honest
- Getting all the enjoyment I can out of life
- Supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me
- Upholding just causes
What's Hard About Being a Challenger
- Overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to
- Being restless and impatient with others' incompetence
- Sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
- Never forgetting injuries or injustices
- Putting too much pressure on myself
Challengers as Children Often
- Are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit
- Are sometimes loners
- Seize control so they won't be controlled
- Figure out others' weaknesses
- Attack verbally or physically when provoked
- Take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult environments
Challengers as Parents
- Are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
- Are sometimes overprotective
- Can be demanding, controlling, and rigid
How to Get Along with Me
- Stand up for yourself... and me.
- Be confident, strong, and direct.
- Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.
- Be vulnerable and share your feelings.
- See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.
- Give me space to be alone.
- Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.
- Even if I speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack
