Do we need to be FEISTY? Me thinks this is one attribute so helpful and impactful in our life yet often undervalued IF NOT totally ignored. And WHILE sometimes, the influence of cultures do come into play, I WON'T buy that excuse that it's a culture thing. Nope. Instead, being FEISTY is something we need to embrace for it to evolve as part of our character formation๐๐๐
As per wikiHow, WHEN we think of FEISTY people, these are the strong-willed and vivacious yet playful with that zest of life we'll envy. I've been to one too many team-buildings and in those events, the FEISTY folks will pop-up within the 1st minute of the event. For us to BUY-IN and develop to become a FEISTY one, it all sorts by being assertive and bold. BTW, being FEISTY is NOT an overnight thing. We got to develop this over time and can take years BUT the formula here is that there must be a consistent and premeditated pursuit to enhance it as part of your character-building. NO flashes in the pan please. And it's true that WHILE you will want to have NO qualms about saying WHAT's on your mind, still be mindful๐๐๐
YES, a very visible manifestation of FEISTY folks is that their emotions SHOW. WHY? It's because they want people around to know NOT just WHAT he's thinking BUT equally important, HOW's that feeling. To a certain degree, the way you feel on the inside should be the way you behave or manifest on the outside. So, if you want to laugh, laugh. And if you wanna cry, cry. Just DON'T waste time worrying about WHAT other people will think about your manifestations, be it your 'verbals' OR body language. Be WHAT you need to be๐ง๐ง๐ง
Word of caution here. Let us be 'reasonable' enough about just how extreme you might be in expressing or manifesting your emotions. IF you tend to be frustrated with something, just DON'T groan loudly and end up rudely interrupting others. Not to be morbid BUT if you're attending a funeral, avoid breaking into fits of giggles [even if the joke you're thinking of is really funny]. A healthy measure of common sense is key๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Our takeaway: One basic ingredient I learned to reinforce through the years is spelled C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-C-E. This is easier said than done though. CONFIDENCE will allow us to be genuine WITHOUT fear, to express ourselves without a tinge of reservation and to care about WHAT others may think in a way that's NOT dependent on their 'approval' for their satisfaction. And YES, do relish engaging into friendly arguments. There's NO avoiding it because that's part of the interplays. BUT that is our chance to stretch our mental and verbal 'muscles', so to speak. WHAT IF you're NOT FEISTY enough? Good question. And frankly, that's NOT the path you want to happen, for your own good dude❗❗❗
