Day 233 of 365 Days of Gratitude...took a pretty cool Authentic Happiness character trait survey from U of Penn today for a project. The results seem pretty spot on. The study asked for me to share my top and bottom 5 results which is what Im posting here...Gratitude did come in at #7. The bottom 5 make me cringe a bit, but theyre true--Im not (in most circumstances) a good leader--my gypsy blood wants to be able to go wherever it wants to go and do whatever it wants to do when it wants...which is why I do better with accountability partners--when I actually honor them....but I am grateful for my strengths and am finding a bit of comfort in realizing my weaknesses. If youre interested the website is authentichappiness I did the VIA Character Strengths survey...
