Can you name one non-physical trait that you like about yourself?

If not, start thinking about it! There’s more to all of us than how we look. I’m confident that there has got to be at least one non-physical trait that you can sincerely appreciate about all the uniqueness that is you!

A recent post on Instagram asked: “what is one non-physical trait that you like about yourself?” Scrolling through the responses unveiled a slew of disheartening answers.  

One person answered, “I don’t know.” Someone responded to this fellow with some beautifully kind words of encouragement, and he replied with something along the lines of, “I need this type of encouragement.” 

Another milky way inhabitant replied, “I’m still working on it.” And like the former, commenters replied to her with uplifting and sympathetic responses. 

I read more comments about one thing people like, further supporting this blah vibe. Thinking of only one non-physical trait that we like about ourselves shouldn’t be so hard! It’s sad to me because I guarantee all these people have multiple characteristics worth celebrating.

Beautiful faces and physiques are everywhere. Whether it’s the latest Instagram model or celebrities, “beautiful people” get highlighted like no tomorrow. A lot of the time, yes, they’re quite enjoyable sights. But there is more to a person than what meets the eye. 

What’s happening on the inside?

Your looks comprise a tiny fabric of the universe inside yourself. Looks fade, but the soul inside lasts much longer. We live in a society that places too much emphasis on a person’s looks. 

What if we lived in a world where the people with the biggest hearts had the spotlight more than the “best looking” ones? What a crazy thought.  

Receiving the gift of a well-lived life produces wrinkles. I’m terrified at the thought of them, but that’s a whole other can of worms. You’ll grow greys and won’t exactly be considered hot in the same way you once were. But you’ll still be left with how you feel on the inside, how you chose to live your life and how you treat others. 

I challenge you to think of at least one non-physical trait that you like about yourself! 

Think of ONE!
