I Am A Plain Boring Person

Summary

  • Yup, plain and boring. Absolutely nothing interesting about me. However, that’s everyone. No one jumped out of a womb and just turned interesting and amazing. They learned how to be themselves and developed into individuals that are interesting! If they can grow to become interesting, you can too. Remember, everyone is different. We all have different passions and personality, but you have to explore to find who you are. If you just do the same things all day, you won’t know what your own preferences are! That will be what I am going to talk about.
  • Discovering who you are is something that can only be done through experience.
    • How do you know if you enjoy a sport that you never tried? You don’t. But a lot of people just sit on the bench and say they are not good at it. - Your character is developed. Your personality, attitude are all developed. They are made from your experiences with the world. If you want to be a more interesting person, you need to go and discover your interests, hobbies, and goals in life. Character development can ONLY be done through learning, growth, and new experiences. Yes, it means get out there and try new things. If you don’t like eating kimchi, that becomes part of who you are. If you love to surf, that is now also part of you. These are the things that makes people interesting. What’s more boring than a person that KIND of knows what he/she wants. The more you interact with the more, the more you know who you are.
  • If we are less afraid of what others think about us, we would actually become the amazing person we envisioned.
    • Fear slows EVERYTHING down. Have you seen fearful people? They don’t try anything, do things that always knew, and plays it safe. Life is just OK for them. Fearless people, on the other hand, take risks and fail from time to time, but they live life in freedom. Not caring what other people think allows you to really try and do anything, because the fear of men is among the top 3 fears in the world. We are very much afraid of what others might think of us, even strangers. It is incredibly hard for us to willingly look stupid in front of a group of audience. But on the other side of embarrassment and fear is freedom. With freedom comes a passionate leader. An interesting person is a byproduct of freedom.
  • Fear leads us to make excuses and dodge problems, so we could could stay safe. TOO safe. Like a treasure chest buried on an unknown island. We’ll never know the riches inside.
    • I really believe we all have great talents inside of us that we never show. Very few of us get to the stage where we focus our time and energy to invest in the talented portion of us, so it shines. One day, we will all pass away, so don’t let yourself have regrets over things you didn’t do. It’s never to late to start something that matters.
