My Myer-Briggs Personality Type (ENFJ)

The Portait of the Teacher (ENFJ)

The Idealists called Teachers are abstract in their thought and speech, cooperative in their style of achieving goals, and directive and extraverted in their interpersonal relations. Learning in the young has to be beckoned forth, teased out from its hiding place, or, as suggested by the word "education," it has to be "educed." by an individual with educative capabilities. Such a one is the eNFj, thus rightly called the educative mentor or Teacher for short. The Teacher is especially capable of educing or calling forth those inner potentials each learner possesses. Even as children the Teachers may attract a gathering of other children ready to follow their lead in play or work. And they lead without seeming to do so.

Teachers expect the very best of those around them, and this expectation, usually expressed as enthusiastic encouragement, motivates action in others and the desire to live up to their expectations. Teachers have the charming characteristic of taking for granted that their expectations will be met, their implicit commands obeyed, never doubting that people will want to do what they suggest. And, more often than not, people do, because this type has extraordinary charisma.

The Teachers are found in no more than 2 or 3 percent of the population. They like to have things settled and arranged. They prefer to plan both work and social engagements ahead of time and tend to be absolutely reliable in honoring these commitments. At the same time, Teachers are very much at home in complex situations which require the juggling of much data with little pre-planning. An experienced Teacher group leader can dream up, effortlessly, and almost endlessly, activities for groups to engage in, and stimulating roles for members of the group to play. In some Teachers, inspired by the responsiveness of their students or followers, this can amount to genius which other types find hard to emulate. Such ability to preside without planning reminds us somewhat of an Provider, but the latter acts more as a master of ceremonies than as a leader of groups. Providers are natural hosts and hostesses, making sure that each guest is well looked after at social gatherings, or that the right things are expressed on traditional occasions, such as weddings, funerals, graduations, and the like. In much the same way, Teachers value harmonious human relations about all else, can handle people with charm and concern, and are usually popular wherever they are. But Teachers are not so much social as educational leaders, interested primarily in the personal growth and development of others, and less in attending to their social needs.

Mikhail Gorbachev, Oprah Winfrey, Pope John Paul II, Ralph Nader, John Wooden, and Margaret Mead are examples of Teacher Idealists.

My God Given Talents

Today I have a real epiphany. I was on a mastermind call and someone brought up the topic of Toastmasters and public speaking. I mentioned that I am a good public speaker and have no fear, unlike most people. That made me realize that this is one of my unused talents right now. In the Myers-Briggs personality test I am ENFJ (Extroversion, Intuition, Feeling, Judgement) called the Idealist or the Teacher. I am in the category with Oprah, Ralph Nader and Gorbachev. It is limited to about 2 - 3 % of the population.

That turned the conversation to using my talent of public speaking and my credentials and health knowledge for teaching others about health through videos, tele-seminars and live talks. Wow! Chris and I talked before about doing some YouTube videos where I talk of the top of my head about what I know on healing a condition naturally and link to reports I sell plus my writing business. Hmmm....

And talking to my mum about it, she thinks I will one day end up in the ministry since I am such a good speaker and very passionate about God and my spirituality. Food for thought!

Money Machine

I realize that I get what I think about and dwell on, except with money if I think about it and dwell on it is usually in a negative lacking way, hence I'm working on not thinking about money at all. Instead I am focusing on my time, because once my time is well-spent I will become a money machine. Rich people aren't focusing on making money all the time; they focus on making the most of their time and I'm doing that too. Time is more important than money, because money if gone can be gotten back but once time is gone it is gone forever. So I am making the most of every moment.

Choosing to have a good day

Changing how my day is going can be as simple as stopping and noticing how I feel and what I am thinking about. If I am thinking negative thoughts or filled with worry, or if I am all tensed up with a bent posture of course I will be having a terrible day! Time to let go of those thoughts, put my worries in my God Box and relax those tense muscles. If I sit or stand up straight, put a smile on my face and think positive thoughts I have no choice but to have a good day or a good life. So today I choose to have a good day just by changing my physical and mental posture.

My Mission Statement

I serve God, tell others about Him, love unconditionally, help others, give generously, learn, study, inspire and motivate.

I am knowledgeable, wise, wealthy, healthy, positive, cheerful and open-minded.

I am committed to changing for the better daily, experimenting, healing myself and others naturally, teaching, owning businesses, traveling and following through on projects.

Perseverance and self-control are key.

Paradigm Shifts

I am so blessed that sometimes it is unreal! I am wealthy - this is an aha moment of realizing that wealth is the culmination of finances, health, freedom and time coming together to make happiness.... and I have that!!!!! I have finally realized that we are all Gods in our own little way because we manifest things into our own lives and create our own destiny through our thoughts and actions. I have developed a heightened awareness of how what I think or do influences what I get or how I feel... so I am constantly tweaking my thoughts and actions to get back into my sweet spot. Kind of like golfers trying to improve their golf game :)

Perfectionism is total crap because it leads to me constantly feel like a failure, when in reality I am so successful that it is ridiculous. So that's another one that's out the window.

Lots of paradigm shifts... that's the order of my day.
