Wonderings

 

Most of my 78 years has been spent wandering around either INSIDE MY HEAD or around the US and Europe.  My accomplishments to some, have been minor, while to others have been great.  Life is relative is all its aspects, while most measure accomplishments in term of financial prowess or buildings and streets named after you.  I could have added by holding elected office but here recently, those who hold/held office are not held in high esteem.

Wonderings of the Mind

These wonderings can been seen simply as a search to answer one question with two parts:

Why am I here and What is my purpose?

When doing this type of search, one must first look at:

• Philosophy
• Psychology
• Mythology
• Ancestry
• Country
• Geographic Location

All of this (and more) have an influence on who one is and one's purpose.

The first stop for me was identifying my personality and I did this through the Myers-Briggs Questionnaire which indicated that my type was INTJ.

Once you understand what type of personality you have, you have a really good understanding of who you are and especially WHY you act the way you do.

You are a byproduct of philosophy, psychology (personality), ancestors, mythology (includes religion), ancestry, and most importantly the country in which you live as well as the geographical location.

Example - being raised in the southern US is different from being raised in the northern US.

My next wonderings article will discuss our purpose....
