You know I am all about the thought-provoking posts.
A couple days ago my good buddy Brian asked me what my best quality was. I shot back an answer that seemed reasonable. He shook his head and said, “No. I want you to think about this. I want you to take a few hours, if not the whole day. Really think about it. Then tell me. I think you’ll be surprised how refined your answer becomes, and the self awareness you’ll call upon to get there.”
I’m always up for a good mental challenge. Especially something about myself – my favorite subject. (sarcasm)
As usual, Brian was insightful. As I considered my answer more thoughtfully, it indeed became more refined, more sophisticated. Probably more accurate too.
I challenge you to do the same thing. Think about what your best quality is. REALLY think about it over a series of accumulative hours. A full day even better. Then come back here and post it if you’d like (I always love to hear about people’s strengths) – but more importantly, post it someplace for yourself to see.
After I wrote down my best quality, I felt a strange sense of self pride in my answer. I believe this is accurate, and I like this quality about myself.
My best quality: My intensity. I live (and love) front and center, out loud, and like I mean it. When push comes to shove, I’m a great one to have in your corner.

That is a great question. I definitely ponder that one for a while. I think you hit your's on the head though...
This is perfect. I need to turn my brain over today and fight the boredom that is a holiday that we don't take off at our office. Thank you.
Love it. Darn tootin I am glad you are in my corner!! :) I think you are all in, whatever you do - which is awesome.
And that is what makes you the best Momma Bear ever.
I think I know what mine is, but I need to take a day to marinate on it.
soooo true- good one. You are (intensely) AWESOME
That was quite refined - nice!
Okay be back tomorrow with an answer!
You totally nailed that one...the reason we are all lucky to have you!
Great post, Carole. I agree that your intensity is second to none and a wonderful quality! I'll definitely think on what mine is.
I am going to ponder this as well. I haven't me you yet, but I think that this word seems to fit you :)
I think my best quality is objectivity. Though it's funner to be a wise ass most of the time, if I buckle down and think through an issue, I can usually come out the other side with an equitable solution.
tenacious
So true! I have only met you the one time but could tell that you were indeed intense about everything you do (in a good way). It is very refrshing to be around people like that. Thanks for all you do Momma Bear!
Really cool post, lady!
I'm curious as to what your spit ball answer was... you are most certainly intense. :) And not only do I appreciate having you in my corner I'm pretty damn certain I wouldn't want you in the opposing corner!
