Have you ever considered the difference between an attitude versus a personality?

An attitude can be changed...

but a personality is difficult to change.

God has wired you with a unique personality that is to grow into a godly attitude on a daily basis.

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus." - Philippians 1:21

Consider some of the unique differences in personality profiles:

INTRAVERT: drained by people; not bothered being alone; like solo activities; reading, few people; energized when they are alone; enjoy others but they're they're drained afterwards; limited relationships
SENSING: likes/trust facts; rooted in reality; appreciates past experience; notices the details; what's actual...give me the facts; practical
INTUITIVE: scans; glances; futuristic; more interested in future than past; forward thinking; imaginative; loves to speculate and go on hunches; doesn't care what's practical...ingenious; optimistic
FEELING: sympathetic; sensitive; values are important; intimacy is important; personal; makes emotional purchases
THINKING: boundaries; critical thinking; analysis; able to separate what is right with the emotionalism of the moment
JUDGING: structured; list maker; fixed; organized; plan ahead; closure; deadlines

"No one can really know
what anyone else is
thinking or what he is
really like, except that
person himself."
- 1 Corinthians 2:11

 

"For you have heard
of my past...I persecuted
the church with fanatical zeal...And did my best to
destroy it...I was ahead of
most of my comtemporaries
I, the Jewish religion, and
had a boundless
enthusiasm."
- Galatians 1:13-14
