THEY ARE SELF-AWARE of their strengths, weaknesses, personality, values, etc. As Lao Tzu once said, "He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is enlightened," they know that the most important (and interesting) thing to know about is "self."
THEY TRUST IN THEMSELVES and trust themselves first and foremost. They don't have to check with others to make decisions, they instinctively know what is right for them and they go for it!
THEY ARE READY TO QUESTION AUTHORITY They do not blindly believe things so-called "experts" say, in fact, they ask deep questions to discover their own truth.
THEY UPGRADE THEIR BRAIN because they are committed to being a lifelong learner. They continuously learn new things, and stay current with their skills, attitudes, and beliefs.
THEY TAKE RISKS and are willing to try out new things, knowing that if it doesn't work out as intended, failure is often cleverly disguised as a learning opportunity. They "swing out there" often, and it usually pays off.
THEY HAVE AN OPEN-MIND open to different perspectives and see potential where most people don't. They would agree with what the quote, "A mind is like a parachute, it only functions when it is open." They are comfortable with paradoxes and can relate to many sides of an issue or opinion.
THEY THINK OUT OF THE BOX and can easily entertain new ideas, thoughts, and ways of doing things. They crave progressive and forward thinking information, concepts, and people. They often come up with new and radical ideas on a regular basis.
THEY USE ACTIVE REFLECTION and reflect on and learn from past experiences, finding out what works and what doesn't, and then adjusts their course of action as needed. They think about things before jumping in, and also take the time after-the-fact to actively reflect to fully understand what happened or didn't happen.
THEY MAKE DECISIONS INTUITIVELY they listen to and follow their intuition. They know how intuitions and insights come to them and are tuned-in internally to make wise decisions.
THEY ARE VERY RESPONSIVE recognize, and respond quickly to opportunities and people. They act and react fast, and take care of what needs to be taken care-of, well ahead of schedule.
THEY ARE A RESOURCEFUL LOT but don't have to know it all, but they do know where to go to get whatever information, resources, training, education that they need. They are well-networked and have people to call on for resource referrals.
THEY ARE PRODUCTIVE and get things done, through whatever organizational/ time management system that works for them. They make the most of each day and take action on important life tasks each and everyday.
THEY HAVE A SENCE OF HUMOR and do not take themselves or life too seriously. They recognize the importance of finding the fun in the irony and the comedy of everyday life.
THEY USE DISCERNMENT And are able to discern other's reasons and motives, so they selectively choose who and what to align themselves with. They surround themselves with only the highest quality people, programs, and places.
THEY WRITE AND LIST THINGS ON PAPER and have a well-developed life strategy that includes a written life vision/mission, purpose, and goals statement. They also write lists---one for "have 2s" and one for "want 2s."
THEY READ, READ & READ books, magazines, articles---anything that is helpful for their own development. They are also able to filter out the information that fits for them and let the rest go.
THEY ARE STUDENTS OF LIFE and know about specific subjects and topics, but also about what it means to be a human being at this time in our evolution. They are insatiably curious and want to know more about becoming bigger and brighter, as a result they naturally evolve.
THEY VALUE LEARNING Because they value the process of learning for learning's sake. They do not just learn for a specific end---to get a certificate, degree, title, etc. They learn because it is intrinsically rewarding for them.
THEY CONSTANTLY TEACH and share their knowledge with other people. They put themselves out there so the rest of us can benefit, and in exchange, their own learning grows and develops because they are actively talking about, researching, and understanding their subject.
THEY CONSTANTLY REINVENT THEMSELVES and do not like to stay the same, they love to grow and develop. They often play with their image, brand, company name, and expand or change it entirely. To stay ahead of the game, they often reinvent themselves time and time again.
