Reblogs from Thought Catalog: Why the Introvert Movement May Be Going a Bit Too Far

30 Wednesday Nov 2016

introvert, introvert movement, personality, personality labels

Though I do identify as an introvert in most cases, these two articles perfectly capture some of my recent thoughts about introversion vs. extroversion and the whole “introvert movement.” I still love the whole study of personality types and I always have fun with introvert-centered pictures, memes, articles, and all that, but I do think that in real-life living and relationships it’s about time we left off our extreme labeling (and resulting prejudices) and simply focused on being ourselves, in our own unique and special ways.

“Standing as I do in view of God and eternity,

I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.”

It compelled me to do more research on this brave woman.

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance,
you must keep moving.”
~ Albert Einstein

This quote reminds me of something else I heard once: You can’t steer a stopped car. So get in and start driving. (That’s my rough personalized rendition.)

This is a huge motivator for me right now. Uncertainty in my life has been a big roadblock for a while now, and I’m sure many of you are in the same boat. So whatever we might be struggling with in our lives–indecision, uncertainty, monotony–we might actually get somewhere if we stop worrying and sitting there wishing something different would happen, and start doing something about it.

“A man is what he thinks about all day long.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he . . .”

Ralph Waldo Emerson may not have been a Christian, but he did manage to land spot on as far as this concept goes.
