i’ve found it interesting how people’s mbti’s change over time. as time passes and we go through new experiences, we grow and understand ourselves better.
take, for example, me.
i used to be a hard-core enfp. these are enthusiastic, free-spirited individuals who thrive on creativity, self-expression, and exploring possibilities. i loved living in the moment and did not worry about the future
but over time, i’ve grown and shifted.
now, i’m a definitive entj. i’ve gone from embracing spontaneity and exploration to focusing on strategy, structure, and achieving goals.
my approach to life has evolved from dreaming big to executing plans with precision and determination. i am more cold, emotionless, and value results over everything else. i will do anything to achieve my goals, even if it comes at the cost of people’s emotions.
what a crazy change, right? literally polar opposites. who would have ever thought...
i went from robin williams to gordon ramsay all in just a few years.
however, i think this is just a product of my environment. i worked so hard to chase my goals in college that my personality shifted. however, i achieved what i wanted to—interning at myfitnesspal and comcast—but there is still a part of me that wants more.
do i continue this entj path and keep chasing higher goals? or do i take a step back and enjoy life and the people around me more?
lately, i’ve been slowly reverting back into my enfp self. i feel more empathetic, kind, enthusiastic, and spontaneous. i live in the moment more, instead of being worried about the future. it feels nice.
but, is this sustainable? as aristotle believed, there is always a golden mean between two extremes. i am still trying to find that golden mean. but i will eventually find it. i know i will.
