HOW CAN WE RECOVER OUR INTEGRITY?
EXERCISE 2: DISCUSSION Only share what you are comfortable sharing!
1. Do you agree with your results from the personality test? If yes, why? If no, why not?
2. How does your personality type impact your daily life?
3. What did you learn from the strengths and weaknesses and career paths sections
about your personality type?
4. How does this relate to comparing ourselves to others? Does this make working with
others or understanding others seem more likely or successful in the future?
5. How does comparing ourselves to others affect our self-awareness?
Begin by looking at our self-concept. The way we see, think and feel about us shapes our beliefs and our beliefs shape our expectations. Our expectations in turn shape our attitude which produces the results in our lives.
For example:
Belief
- I am a failure
Expectations
- I just know that I am going to fail
Attitude
- It's no good, I always end up failing
Results
- I failed
Here we have the infamous self-fulfilling prophecy. How can we change this negative cycle of events?
All psychological and motivational literature of today tells us the same thing - "change our belief system and adopt a positive mental attitude." A positive mental attitude begins with the belief that we control our lives and consequently that we are responsible for us.
