Boldness

Most people who know me would not describe me as bold. I have diplomatic & tactful skill and am sensitive to issues but not necessary bold. I can be firm and assertive but not usually bold.

The church I have attended off and on had a bit on personality types and mine is the gentle type that is encouraged to be bold.

It is odd thing to hear as I have been challenged with many situations over the last few months to step outside my comfort zone and be bold. Many of things I have done. Some have ended well and some have not ended very well. It is interesting to see how I approach each scenario and handle the issues. It is difficult in some ways as part of me identifies with the reluctant hero type and it is easy to walk away or not engage stressful & tense situations. I seem to forget my strengths for these type of situations which are the ability to communicate, the ability to keep my calm & composure, and the ability to provide options and think outside the box.

I have more situations coming up and it looks like this will be my personal growth story for the rest of this year. Not a bad one or one to complain about but interesting.
