Are you the person you always wanted to be?


The other day at work, I facilitated a group with staff where everyone completed a questionnaire that measures "compassion satisfaction", "burnout" and "vicarious traumatization". Although the latter is more specific to the helping profession, I think the first two are relative to most people. One of the questions was "Are you the person you always wanted to be". The eloquent comment I had for the group when reviewing the assessment was pointing out that question and commenting "wow, that's like, deep".

What a personal question. But what an important one. Have you asked yourself that recently? It's not the easiest question to answer, but I think the important part is answering honestly. And if the answer is no, that's okay. As long as you're working on it.
