I thought a bit on it. I want to improve, and trust in, my critical thinking. It is the one way I can add to a conversation without remembering long lists of information. The better I become at it, the more courageous I'll be at expressing myself. And, after some point, I bet I'll be able to narrate stories, too. I want to be someone who excells at deductions. Also someone confident, emotionally strong, and someone who can protect the ones around them without compromising what they believe in.
Thanks!

I get a really good image of who you want to be from what you just said. It may also be worth thinking about why you value those characteristics or qualities, as that might help you work on them.
Believe it or not, just identifying how you want to show up gets you 50% of the way there. That which is undistinguished runs you, which means that which you haven't identified in you life runs you. And you just distinguished a huge thing - who you want to be and how you want to appear in the world! You have so much power now!
