And I find Your beautiful mind in everything

So it's early in the morning and officially Thanksgiving. I really enjoy this day of the year. It gives me a chance to spend some time with my whole family and to enjoy some delicious food.

I'm not one of those people that use Thanksgiving as a day to reflect on things that I am thankful for. Although I think it's nice that people have this day set aside for doing so, I believe it's important to give thanksgiving every day. I make an attempt to start every prayer with thanking God for allowing me to live through another day. It could be a day I would not wish to relive, but even so I show my appreciation for the day. I give thanks where the thanks is due, so I'm not going to list out the things that I'm thankful for.

On a completely different note, I'm sure that everyone has at one time or another taken a Myers-Briggs personality profiling test. I have taken in numerous times through high school and what not. About a month ago, we took it in my marketing class and I just became more interested in it, so read up on it.

I am a INFJ which means I prefer introversion, intuition, feeling, and judgment. All of that is not what's so interesting. I've read into it more and found out so many things that really explain why I do the things I do.

Here's a list of the basic characteristics of a INFJ:

• Sensitive
• Quiet leaders
• Great depth of personality - intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and highly complex, sometimes puzzling even themselves
• Introverted
• Abstract in communicating
• Live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities - part of an unusually rich inner life
• Artistic (and natural affinity for art), creative, and easily inspired
• Very independent
• Orderly view towards the world but within themselves arranged in a chaotic, complex way only they could understand

I couldn't say it better myself. I align with every one of those things. It explains why I like to write, why I like to make music, why I constantly over think, why I enjoy my independence. It points to so much.

Knowing your personality type can really help you understand yourself and even help you decide what type of relationships you desire and what types of careers you'll thrive in. Not to mention it's interesting to read the profiles and see how much they align with your personality.

And like my marketing professor said, everyone likes their personality profile. No one ever finds theirs out and wishes they had another. How amazing is it that our minds are created to actually like ourselves?

I'll probably bring all of this up again sometime. It just fascinates me.
