I love that book -- The Temperament God Gave You. I may have to re-do the test in the book because I keep getting confused if I'm a phlegmatic-sanguine or a phlegmatic-melancholic. But, yes, so important to know yourself and strive to be the best version of yourself.Melissa Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093144784715438143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-80832340394840965452016-02-28T02:18:05.609-08:002016-02-28T02:18:05.609-08:00Amen, sunflowersojourn!

I think this whole reflection is really fantastic. It's been in philosophy for forever-"know thyself"-because it is vital. When we want to live our lives abundantly and thrive in our relationships-of any kind-with other people, it is super helpful to see our strengths and weaknesses. Reading the book, "The Temperament God Gave You" was really good for me in learning to do this, because the it outlined different weaknesses that people with my temperament tend to have in relationships, so that I could work on those. And, like you said, every single thing that happens when you're single will help prepare you for whatever other Vocation God has in store for you :) AnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-22689550191625245182016-02-25T17:08:46.638-08:002016-02-25T17:08:46.638-08:00Thank you for your honesty in this post!

(I wrote a post on Ignitum Today about this last month--dealing with waiting!) I am so glad for the "extra" time I have had to be single and grow into a better version of myself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
