Okay, I’m trying again with this blog. That’s what people do if they want to succeed. They try again.
Why This Blog
My INFP Blog is my thoughts on being INFP. This blog is about me. It’s my experiments to find a way to make things work for me. I’ve been reading self-help blogs for years. All of them have the same exercises and similar philosophies, but they mix and match to create a self-help recipe to fit various people. Every time I read one of those, I think those would be great if I was an ESTJ, but some of it doesn’t fit my INFP preferences very well.
After 20 years, I know many of the ingredients. This blog is trying to figure out a recipe that works for me and my personality style.
This is My Self-Help Blog
This blog is about helping myself. I’m trying to help me first. You know how the airline tells you to put the oxygen mask on yourself first. That’s this blog.
I’ve toyed with the idea of being a personal development coach but that’s still about 100 goals and 2 or 3 careers in the future. Here’s one of my deepest beliefs: you are as far as you currently go with your life with what you currently know.
This means that whatever I can teach another person can only get them as far as I’ve gotten. I don’t know anymore yet to get anyone further than where I am. Here’s the rub. I don’t want to be where I am. I want to be at that next level. Where I am doesn’t really inspire me. If I can’t inspire myself to be here, what does it say if I’m trying to inspire other people to get someplace I don’t want to be anymore.
