“What is something you appreciate most about yourself?”

Honestly, answering this question made me think of what do I really appreciate about myself and how do I see myself. It made me realize how hard it is to see the good traits and qualities I have when all I see is negativity and I guess it’s because I’m in the stage wherein I’m still unsure of who I am completely. Sometimes I think that I am not enough or not good enough and that I am just lazy and I do nothing meaningful. But as I grow up I think less of that, I’m trying to see that I am better than I just think I am. One thing I realized is that I do have a good and genuine heart. Growing up studying the Bible helped me to become spiritually matured and that I am fully aware of why I exist and that I do have a purpose. So I guess that one thing I appreciate most about myself is that no matter how people treat me badly and unfairly I still manage to look at their good side or motives. I try to understand one’s mind and why he/she did such thing. Another thing is that I forgive too easily, I guess that one thing I learned from God’s traits is that He is fast in forgiving and slow in being angry so why shouldn’t we too?
