Than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesn't. There's a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn't need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventurs, sit in the coffee shop on your own, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It is not any less beautiful, I promise ;)

There is an unbroken sound playing inside every human being. It rings continuously for 24 hours from birth to death. This sound can be heard sitting in a quiet place. If it is not heard even in a quiet place, then it can be heard with your ears closed.
Some people call it the sound of the Soul. Some consider it a means of meeting the Soul. Some people keep listening to this sound during meditation. People say that listening to this sound, helps the mind to concentrate easily.

I don't know whether anyone has reached near the Soul after hearing this sound? But it is true that this voice is playing continuously inside and listening to it calms the mind.

What is the point of understanding personality types? Since everyone is unique, the idea of cramming people into categories seems odious. And even if personality types were somehow theoretically valid, they would probably be either too academic to be helpful in our daily lives or too vague to be meaningful—grab bags anyone can read anything into.
Our fellow human beings compel our attention because they are easily the most changeable, infuriating, pleasurable, and mystifying objects in the environment. It would be impossible for most of us to spend a day without coming into direct or indirect contact with dozens of people—family, friends, people on the street, at the office, on television, in our fantasies, and in our fears.
People are everywhere, having all sorts of impacts on us—for better or worse.

There may even have been times when we realized that we did not know ourselves. The behavior of others—and even our own behavior—is, at times, strange and unsettling. Odd things keep popping up, or seem to be out of place. Some of these surprises can be pleasant, but some are decidedly unpleasant, having calamitous effects upon us far into the future.
This is why, if we are too unthinking about the personality types in which human nature expresses itself, we run the risk of disaster. The person we thought we knew may turn out to be a monster or hopelessly self-centered. We may find that we have been callously used or that our legitimate needs have been selfishly ignored. Unless we have insight, we can be terribly abused. The opposite is equally true: unless we have insight, we may overlook a diamond in the rough, or be too quick to get out of a relationship which is actually worth saving. Without insight, we may be hurt or foolish, and either way end in unhappiness.

The problem is, however, that while everyone wants insight into others, few people are as willing to look so intently at themselves. We want to know what makes other people tick, yet we are afraid to discover anything upsettingabout ourselves. Today's competitive culture has shifted the emphasis of the ancient injunction of the oracle at Delphi from "know thyself" to "psych out the other guy." We would like to be able to figure out people as if we had X-ray vision, while not wanting others to see our weaknesses and shortcomings. We do not want anyone, including us, to see us as we really are. Unfortunately, something necessary and valuable—looking at ourselves with the same objective eye with which we view others—has been lost.
We have everything upside down. To correct this, we should remember Kierkegaard's advice. He suggested that we become subjective toward others and objective toward ourselves. That is, when we judge the actions of others, we should put ourselves in their place, trying to understand how they see themselves and their world. And when we judge ourselves, we should see ourselves as others see us, overcoming the ease with which we find extenuating circumstances for ourselves. Of course, Kierkegaard's suggestion is very difficult to put into practice. We need to cut through vanity and self-deception when we look at ourselves, as well as cynicism and defensiveness when we examine others. We must have courage toward ourselves and empathy toward others.
How can we acquire the knowledge and sensitivity we need? How can we begin to make sense of the vast diversity of human personality? How can we develop insight so that we can lead fuller, happier lives?
The answer is paradoxical: we will discover that we cannot really know anyone else until we know ourselves, and we cannot really know ourselves until we know others. The solution to this seeming conundrum is that understanding ourselves and understanding others are really two sides of the same coin—understanding human nature.
We believe the Enneagram (pronounced "ANY-a-gram") is the map of human nature which people have long sought.

BECAUSE IN MY OPINION THEY DO SUFFER FROM LOW SELF ESTEEM!
THEY DO NOT LOVE THEMSELVES! THEREFORE THEY DO NOT LOVE OTHERS!
THEY CHOOSE TO SEE THE BAD IN EVERY ONE!
NEGATIVE PEOPLE NEVER GIVE TO ANYONE A COMPLIMENT!
THEY DO SPREAD HATE!
MY ADVICE IS TO SURRENDER YOUR SELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE!
PEOPLE WHO WILL LOVE YOU AND NEVER WILL BRING YOU DOWN!

If GOD give you a chance to go in past to correct your mistakes, then which mistake will you correct?

Life is full of difficulties and opportunities.
If we always keep grieving instead of fighting with problems, we will lose many opportunities in our lives.
Instead of regretting what you have not got, be happy and progress in what you have got.

I understood these lessions very late.
I have made a lot of mistakes because of this ignorance.
So,
If GOD give me a chance to go in my past, I will teach these lessions to myself in beginning (in childhood).

You cannot avoid risk without avoiding life.

As Henry David Thoreau once said, “When it’s time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.”

Living is a risk. Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared sometimes, then you’re not doing it right. Don’t worry about mistakes and failures,
worry about what you’re giving up when you don’t even try. Worry about the life you’re not living and the happiness you’re forgoing, as you merely exist in the safety of your comfort zone. Give yourself permission to be one of the people who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them and grew into your truest self... #Jt

When I was sitting at the foot of a guru....who was wonderful by the way, he used to always say, "Seriousness does not equal sincerity".

I have watched and observed 'serious' people. I used to be one of them, to a degree. They have no innocence, no child-like enthusiasm (enthusiasm means 'in God'), no life. They are like frozen blocks of ice.

I watch people who are sincere. They love life. They are willing to be foolish and vulnerable and not predictable. They act as if authenticity is the highest virtue. I am aiming to be like them....but in my unique way. :)

I find that people who are themselves may have any number of 'disorders' or not, but they do not worry about how they look to others. They are happy in their own skin and they are willing to show themselves, no matter how un-perfect they may appear to be to others.

I love people who show up. I love people who lack pretense. I love people who don't give a crap what I or anyone else thinks of them. These are my hero/heroines.

The people who act as if they know everything about anything, the people who can't laugh at themselves and their idiocy, the people who constantly tell others how they ought be....those people bore the living bejeezus out of me. No thank you....move along.
