    If you were given a magic wad that had the ability to change one thing about you what would it be? Let me start; I would change the fact that I get very anxious. I hate that I worry about something even though I cannot change the situation. What say you?

    I would change my current situation to something much more simpler, happier, pleasurable, content-worthy, all the sugar and spice and everything that's nice and then look for him {shy smile}...anyway, what am going through currently is a reflection of what will be and i must say the future is bright ;)

    My constant procrastination of important issues such as taking care of household chores, work issues or paying bills. It has really caused me a lot of stress in my life because of that laid back attitude I have about those things.

    The best thing I would change about myself is learn to be more punctual. I am sure that I can be more productive by being more regular in every work. I hope to become quite good and hard working.

    Actually I also want to add that I would like to be more patient. I am not impatient per say but when I do lose my cool I have a pretty bad temper so I would like to work on that.

    I am impatient and a bit of a hothead. Basically an extreme "type A". It has served me well overall, but I've learned over the years to be more relaxed and casual after hours, in social situations, etc.

    I am also a bit paranoid and distrustful of people in general, which has also served me well in some ways, and that I tend to think is the way one must be in life. But I sometimes think that has also hurt me as well in some ways.

    Your last comment there has me shaking my head in total agreement, after being slighted by people i thought were well-meaning, my trust levels have dwindled drastically, i think here in on, onwards, it would take real effort from someone to really convince me to really trust them...i only trust God :)

    For being a lazy person. I wish I could change that but it's hard.

    I am a workaholic and, while that has had its benefits, it also has some fairly serious negatives. So, I suppose I could find a better life-work balance, though long hours are very common in my career field.

    I'm also a confirmed loner. Beyond my wife and child, I really don't socialize outside of the professional world. I suppose I'd change that, but not really. I've just never really seen the need to be a social butterfly and I, generally, don't find anything rewarding about interaction with others.

    I never can shut off my thoughts. Even when I don't want to think about anything, thoughts just keep running through my mind. That's the one thing I would want to change about myself — the ability to control or completely shut out my thoughts whenever I want to. Maybe then I'd be able to sleep.
