The Essence of Our Personality
Clélia Midori emphasizes that certain personalities are natural and inherent to our way of being. They aren't something we consciously choose, like “being seductive” or “being absolute.” Instead, these characteristics manifest in how we love, act, think, and make choices. They are a fundamental part of who we are.
The Trap of Self-Criticism and External Pressure
We live in a world where external pressure and self-criticism can make us lose connection with our true identity. How often do we feel dissatisfied with our work, for instance, and instead of seeking a change aligned with our unique traits, allow ourselves to be influenced by others' opinions? The result is a feeling of discomfort in our own skin, a question of “who am I?”
It's common for us to look at our characteristics and, driven by what Clélia calls the “instinct for self-protection,” focus on the negative. We quickly criticize ourselves and think: “I need to change.”
From 'Flaw' to 'Strength': A New Perspective
Clélia Midori challenges us to ask: Is this characteristic you consider a “flaw” truly a bad thing? Or could it actually be a strength? She encourages us to flip the script, to see the positive side and the potential in every trait. What, at first glance, seems like a shortcoming might just be your greatest asset, something that makes you unique and authentic.
Reflecting on this allows us to strengthen what makes us special and feel more comfortable in our own skin. It's an invitation to self-knowledge and acceptance, transforming the perception of our imperfections into powerful tools for our growth and empowerment.
