          When I think of accomplishments I think of things I have "done", tasks I completed.  For instance I accomplished removal of bubbling plaster and drywall around the 1/2 bath shower.  I accomplished repairing said drywall.  I accomplished caulking the edges of said drywall.  I accomplished spackling and re-spackling the dry wall.  I will accomplish painting the entire 1/2 bath.  

         

          Rarely do I think of my abilities or qualities.  I have the ability to nurture and cultivate most things green.  I have the ability to understand plant phylogenetics.  I have the ability to understand a lot about cosmology (not cosmetology...  lol).  I have the ability to understand the most recent theories of how life began on this planet and perhaps other planets and moons.  I have the ability to read on a very high level.  I have the ability to communicate my ideas on virtually every level.  

         When I think of my qualities...  I am empathic.  I am in possession of a wonderful soul worthy of knowing.  I am capable of immense compassion.   I am loyal to my friends and family (as it may be).  I am monogamous in relationships.  I am capable of great love and passion.  I am very intelligent.  I am good looking.

         It is hard to focus on more than the physical most times.  I tend to concentrate on what I have "done".  While it is true that in the end a human is defined by the log of works he/she has left behind.  It is also important to remember that a human is defined by actions.  These actions are the result of the acquired abilities and innate qualities that make up the whole in all of us.  Focusing on my individual positive qualities and abilities brings peace in some of the most troubling times.

 

       While focusing on the positives it also has become a part of me to remind myself of the negative qualities and to do my best to suppress or change these in myself.  I strive and have always strived to become a better person.  I strive to better interrelate with others in my life.  I strive to be more understanding of others.  I strive to overcome my depression and anxiety.  I strive to grow and cultivate plants better.  I strive to find a better job and to become a success in my financial world.
