Jamie I'm glad to hear there are others like me. Your point that “I think you're very smart to step back from fighting against your nature” encourages me. To use a sermon title I once heard, you need to 'turn your favour on your famine'.

My way of looking at this, which I feel you are also saying, is to maximize your strengths, and minimize your weaknesses. I've done this by focussing on what I do best, and finding and training other people and surrounding myself with people who balance me and fill in the gaps.

Thanks again Jamie, love chatting with you

I think anyone can hack themselves by taking the time to – on a regular basis – observe themselves. We're so quick to create a preconceived notion of ourselves. It can be incredibly enlightening to step back and take your words and actions at face value.

Once you've come to terms with the true nature of your personality traits, THEN you can start figuring out how to apply them successfully in your life. I think you're very smart to step back from fighting against your nature. Trying to fit yourself into someone else's way of being is doomed to failure from the start. MUCH better to learn how to tailor your life to your intrinsic qualities.

Thanks for giving me something to think about this morning.

I think that's a great way of looking at it – your spiritual self hacking the physical self to gain more from it – using your body like a tool.

Consider this brain of my shifted in its perceptions!
