It got me thinking about how I define my place in the world from a perspective point of view. From reading the book passages I now understand that my "gifts/strengths" guide my world view. The "trump card" is empathy from a gained perspective position. When I read the passage all of a sudden the lights went on with respect to my interaction with people. My Individualization/Connectedness and Empathy all serve me well in the areas of human interaction. I have a well defined sense of empathy that has served me well all my life-I can read people very well. The interesting thing is my reluctance to involve myself with others by applying my strength of empathy to the interaction and potential development of a relationship. My struggle with "judgement" often enters the fray as I have tendency to "shutdown" potentials based on a predetermined position I often take. My awareness of this folly has been with me for years and I have to be very mindful to catch my tendencies which often cut me off from others....What is interesting to me is that I have a fascination with the human condition and if I could "dial down" my judgment I might make more meaningful connections based on my strengths...
