Intro - Values and Purpose, as an introvert
Firstly, I should probably introduce this new blog to the world.
I have a few blogs - mainly to help people find the one most relevant for them - sometimes I come up with something new I want to write, and then I spend too long trying to figure out where I should post it, for it to be of interest! And if I take too long figuring it out, the moment can be gone, and my train of thought moves on.
- I initially started blogging in 2016, writing about the funny moments of being an introvert married to an extrovert.
- I also have a blog through my business - Central Business Associates, but then some of the things I wanted to write about were just an everyday grumble about the world we live in, rather than about my business interest, or even introverts and extroverts.
- So I then started one about my existence (and frustrations) as a feminist 50-something-year-old woman (just clarifying, because believe it or not, you don’t have to be a woman to be a feminist! FYI, it can be a really attractive attribute for a man to have, but only if it’s real - we can sniff out the fake ones in about 60 seconds, so don’t waste your time pretending. Maybe you could do some genuine research and become a real one if you were thinking about being a fake one - just a thought.)
And when I had a recent discussion with someone about my people-pleasing problem, and they suggested it was important enough to blog about, I spent way too long trying to figure out which of my existing blog categories it belonged in. And the answer was none.
I realised it wasn’t an introvert vs extrovert thing, it wasn’t (only) connected to being a feminist or to my age, and it wasn't really a business thing, but it is an important subject that needs to be recognised and talked about. And if I can maybe help anyone else think through whether it’s something they want to work on changing, or just be aware of how important our values and purpose are to living a peaceful, fulfilling life - then I need to find the right place to talk about it.
