9 Personalities


In life we are surrounded by all kinds of people with their own personalities, characters and professions. It is sometimes necessary to sit down and categorize these people so that you can know who will be of positive value in your life or will not be positive towards your personal development.

Below is a list of personalities that will help you sort the people that form part of your life and thus assist you with personal development.


a While ago I found that I was surrounded by people that were not necessarily positive towards my personal development and growth. In a conversation with a friend one day, she told me to move these people aside, because I was spending to much energy on them. My first thought was that I could not POSSIBLY do this but after much thought and difficult as it was I did do that. Now I find myself surrounded by wonderful friends and other people that not only mean the world to me, but to whom I can also mean something and they truly inspire me to be more and better and with all this new found energy I can do more for them and others! Wonderful how this Karma thing works!


1. ENERGISERS

POSITIVELY ORIENTATED PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE THAT GIVE YOU EMOTIONAL ENERGY.

2. DOOR-OPENERS

PEOPLE THAT PRESENT YOU WITH OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE.

3. UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE/SUPPORT

PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU THAT ACCEPT YOU FOR WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE,THAT WILL NOT JUDGE OR ABANDON YOU.

4. REFERENCE GROUP

PEOPLE WHO PROVIDE YOU WITH KNOWLEDGE, EMOTIONALLY OR COGNITIVELY.

5. MENTORS

PEOPLE THAT TEACH YOU ABOUT LIFE AND GUIDE YOU ON ALL TERRAINS OF YOUR LIFE.

6. EXPERTS

PEOPLE WITH WHOM YOU CONSULT AND PAY FOR THEIR SERVICES eg. DOCTORS FOR MEDICAL ADVICE.

7. DESTROYERS/MANIPULATORS

PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT THEIR LIFE’S MISSION TO PUT YOU DOWN AND AFFECT YOU IN EVERY POSSIBLE NEGATIVE WAY.

8. DOWNERS

PEOPLE WHO DRAIN YOU OF EMOTIONAL ENERGY AND LEAVE YOU NEGATIVELY ORIENTATED TOWARDS LIFE.

9. CHALLENGERS

PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY CHALLENGE YOUR EMOTIONS AND INTELLIGENCE FOR EITHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE REASONS.

Thanks for the 5 numbers you gave me. I want to say ditto plus a 5. :-)
It is true that when you surround yourself with positive people it starts to rub off on you as well.
