This tip falls right after taking time out for yourself . As stated previously , being alone allows you to learn yourself and your personality . We all know we all have flaws , some greater than others , but they are flaws nevertheless . Some of these traits deemed are “ negative ” can also be flipped into a positive if you learn that the specific flaw isn ’ t so bad after all , or that it adds a quirk to your personality . I ’ ll use myself as an example ; I ’ m a child at heart , so it can read as a juvenile personality trait . This used to bum me out because as I got older I felt as if I ’ m still immature , or a late bloomer . I ’ m learning to embrace this trait because I realized it ’ s just something I naturally am , and it can actually add cuteness to my personality . I embraced my childish personality trait flaw , but I learned to be the “ good kid ”, and not the “ bad apple ”. That ’ s me using something I viewed as a flaw as a positive to just add to my personality .

Once you find this , you ’ ll find your purpose , and finding your purpose gives you a sense of meaning and importance . It gives you something to strive and plan for . Just simply finding your purpose can give you a feeling of success .
