PERSONALITY TRAITS

GRANDIOSITY “WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT US”

by

GRANDIOSITY WILL BE OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY.  WHAT DOES THIS DAILY WISDOM WORD MEAN?  DOES IT APPLY TO YOU?  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF THIS WORD IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND THE DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY-1.  IMPRESSIVE OR SIGNIFICANT IN APPEARANCE OR STYLE.  2.  ONE WHO’S EXCESSIVELY GRAND OR AMBITIOUS. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF GRANDIOSITY-FEELING OMNI-POWERFUL OR ONE WHO HAS A LARGE EGO.  2. A WORD USED TO DESCRIBE ONE WHO OPERATES FROM THEIR EGO RATHER THAN INTERNAL BEING.  

GRANDIOSITY IS A QUALITY ASSOCIATED WITH MANY THINGS, AND ONE OF THEM IS NARCISSISM.  IT IS ALSO A SYMPTOM OF NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER.  GRANDIOSITY CAN ALSO STAND ALONE IN ITS MEANING AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT WHO WE ARE.  DO WE OPERATE AND INTERACT WITH OTHERS USING OUR EGO?  IF YOU ARE NOT GRANDIOSE, YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE SEEN IT IN ANOTHER PERSON THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS. 

THESE ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO BRAG ABOUT THEMSELVES.  THEY EXPRESS THESE QUALITIES OUTWARD BUT THEY ORIGINATE FROM OUR EGO. THE LETTERS IN THE WORD “EGO” FOR ME STAND FOR “EMITTING GOD OURSELVES”.  WE ARE NOT GOD’S OR EXTRAORDINARY FROM SOMEONE ELSE.  BECAUSE SOMEONE WHO HAS THIS TRAIT TENDS TO VERBALIZE HIS OR HER AMAZING ASSETS, MAKES YOU WONDER IF THEY ARE INSECURE TO BE DOING THIS.  YOU ARE CORRECT TO ASSUME THIS. 

GRANDIOSITY, NOT ONLY BEING A SIGN OF THE PERSONALITY DISORDER OF NPD, IS ALSO A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT MAY STAND ALONE.  GRANDIOSITY IS  DEMONSTRATED BEST IN ONE ALWAYS OVER THE TOP IN THEIR EXPECTATIONS AND  WHEN YOU SEE ONE WHO IS GRANDIOSE IN ACTION.  THEY ARE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO BELIEVE THEMSELVES TO BE BETTER THAN YOURSELF.  HOWEVER, BEHIND THEIR EGO, IS A VERY INSECURE INDIVIDUAL. 

I WILL USE MONEY AS A EXAMPLE.  MOST PEOPLE WHO TRULY ARE RICH, DON’T FEEL A NEED TO TELL OTHERS THEY ARE WEALTHY OR SHOW OFF.  IN FACT, OFTEN THEY ARE HUMBLE AND DO THEIR BEST NOT TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS IN FEAR OF INTIMIDATING THEM.   ONE WHO IS GRANDIOSE IS ALSO THE KIND OF PERSON DELIBERATELY TAKING A MONEY CLIP WITH MUCH CASH IN THE CLIP MAKING SURE OTHERS SEE IT. 

GRANDIOSITY IS NOT ONLY A QUALITY IN THOSE WHO ARE INSECURE BUT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SIGN OF THE PERSONALITY OF A NARCISSIST.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY.  HAVE A COMMENT?  PLEASE DO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS NOT ONLY ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE READ, BUT HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT GRANDIOSITY.  EITHER  “JOIN THE DISCUSSION” BENEATH THIS POST, OR BE THE FIRST TO START ONE.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT GRANDIOSITY TODAY.  SAMANTHA L/DAILY WISDOM WORDS FOUNDER

QUIRKS “WE ALL HAVE THEM”

by

QUIRKS WILL BE OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY.  WE ALL HAVE THOSE “QUIRKS” WHICH MAKE US UNIQUE AND SPECIAL.  THESE QUIRKS AREN’T PERSONALITY FLAWS AS WE MAY THINK.  THEY ARE THE INTRIGUING PART OF WHO WE ARE.  BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE MEANING OF QUIRKS IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY AND OF COURSE,  OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING FOR QUIRKS. 

WEBSTER DICTIONARY MEANING OF QUIRKS-1.  A PECULIAR BEHAVIORAL HABIT.  A STRANGE CHANCE OCCURRENCE. 

DAILY WISDOM WORD MEANING OF QUIRKS-SOMETHING UNIQUE ABOUT US THAN MAKES US WHO WE ARE. 

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR QUIRKS ARE THAT MAKE YOU WHO YOU ARE, UNIQUELY EXPRESSED THROUGH YOUR PERSONALITY?  I KNOW I HAVE QUIRKS.  FOR EXAMPLE, SOMETIMES WHEN DOING THE HOUSEWORK, I WILL BREAK THE REGIMENTATION UP WITH THE SPECIFIC THINGS NEEDED TO BE DONE AND START ONE STEP OF ONE CHORE, AND TWO STEPS OF ANOTHER, AND ANOTHER.   ODD?  YES, BUT IT IS NOT THE TYPICAL WAY OF PEOPLE DO THEM.  QUIRKS CAN BE LOOKED AT IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.  WE CAN LOOK AT THEM THROUGH THE EYES OF “THOSE QUALITIES THAT MAKE US UNIQUE, DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL OR WE CAN SEE THEM AS FLAWS. 

THE CHOICE IS OURS BUT PERSONALLY I LIKE TO VIEW MY QUIRKS AS WHAT MAKES ME WHO I AM IN AS POSITIVE LIGHT AS POSSIBLE.  I AM ALWAYS SETTING MYSELF UP FOR CHALLENGES AND OFTEN WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH EVEN THOUGH OFTEN, MY JOKES SIMPLY ARE NOT THAT FUNNY.  MY SON ALSO HAS QUIRKS WITH THE FIRST THING COMING TO MIND HIS UNIQUE AND OFTEN SARCASTIC SENSE OF HUMOR. 

WE CAN TRULY VIEW THESE THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES AS WEIRD, STRANGE THINGS ABOUT OURSELVES OR WE CAN LOOK AT THEM AS POSITIVES.  THE CHOICE IS OURS.  BY THE WAY, ONE OF THE REASON I CHOSE QUIRKS AS OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY IS BECAUSE OF THE POINT I JUST MADE ABOUT IT BEING OUR CHOICE AS TO HOW WE VIEW OUR QUIRKS.  THIS IS ALSO TRUE WITH MANY OTHER THINGS IN LIFE.  WE HAVE A CHOICE AS TO HOW WE VIEW THINGS.  WE CAN SEE OUR QUIRKS AS STRANGE AND WEIRD OR UNIQUE QUALITIES THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE.  WE HAVE THE CHOICE TO SEE EVERYTHING AS A POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE.  OFTEN TIMES WE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. 

THE ONE THING THAT WE CAN CONTROL IS THE CHOICE WE MAKE WITH THE PERSPECTIVES ON HOW WE SEE THINGS.  

THANK YOU FOR READING TODAY!!  SAMANTHA
