Why am I pointing out personality types? In my spiritual journey, and personal develop I never heard this mentioned. We talk about spirit and soul, but the missing link was personality.

We can be very loving, compassionate, forgiving, understanding, and have empathy for another person. We can do everything in our power and control to develop spiritually and emotionally. We can change our thoughts, beliefs, and actions.

What we can’t change is our core personality or someone else’s. We can treat them with respect and set our boundaries, but at the same time, we will still clash with certain personality types and not see eye to eye.

You can go through life never knowing you’re and introvert or extrovert and question why you just can’t get along with certain people. And many times we can blame ourselves or think we’re doing something wrong.

There are many times we can be doing everything right, but the other person is different, has a whole different process of taking in information, processing it, and taking action in society.

We each play a role, have different gifts, talents, and intelligence. The world is run by different types of personalities. We all have an impact, and whether we utilize those gifts.

Relationships face many obstacles and hurdles because we are dealing with not just a soul or spirit, but a personality as well shaped by genetics, environment, and the personality type that has raised us. Other multiple variables: Culture, religion, local community, politics, advertising, marketing, race, gender, age, belief systems, negative thoughts, negative emotions, negative feedback, and also generational thinking patterns, addictions, and abusive tendencies.

Every personality type can override certain things through self-discipline and personal development over time, but it helps to understand whether you are an introvert or extrovert and what role you play.

There is a lot to learn about self and how we communicate with others. Often times we want to blame someone else, but part of personal responsibility is knowing your strengths and weaknesses and learning to make your weaknesses into strengths.

Personality is only one small piece of the puzzle in personal and spiritual development. The minute you understand you’re an Introvert and Extrovert and what that entails, you can than evaluate what your weaknesses are in relationships and success and what you can do to improve them.
