Your Identity, Part 5: Your Outstanding Personal Characteristics

Again, your identity is how others identify you. It’s how they distinguish you from everyone else. It includes your reputation; the stories others repeat about you, as well as your name. Others might identify you by your outstanding physical features. Still others might identify you by your outstanding personal characteristics

Your outstanding personal characteristics might be physical, mental, spiritual, or social. Outstanding physical characteristics include, but aren’t limited to, beauty, muscularity, being taller or shorter than most, and weighing more or less than most.

Examples of outstanding mental characteristics include being more or less intelligent than average, having excellent or little memory, being quick or slow witted, having excellent or poor problem-solving abilities, or having a vivid or dull imagination. 

Examples of outstanding spiritual characteristics include such things as having good instincts, being sweet or mean spirited, influential, inspiring, high spirited, reclusive, or the one who brightens the room.

Outstanding social characteristics include such things as having many friends, knowing everyone in town, having many social connections, being on everyone’s guest list, being influential, and leading others.

Know your identity. Do others identify you by one or more outstanding personal characteristics? If you so, which ones?

What’s your reputation? Have you made a name for yourself? 

Do others identify you by you outstanding personal features? Do they identify you by what you own
