How Would You Design Yourself?

[Tom Church]

If you could start again, if you had a blank canvas to work from, how would you design yourself?

• What talents would you have?
• What would you look like?
• Your skills, weaknesses, strengths, humor, temper...what would they be?
• Voice Tone, volume, frame, virtues, beliefs, faiths?

The only things I would change would be to have a bit less of a temper, and increase the volume of my voice just a smidge. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.

[*]What talents would you have? - Honestly I would love to be talented in a variety of sports, as well as a skilled guitar player. I would also like to be skilled in a martial art of some kind.
[*]What would you look like? - Myself, but a little less body fat and a lot more muscle. I would probably tweak a few facial features, but otherwise I'd remain looking like me.
[*]Your skills, weaknesses, strengths, humor, temper...what would they be? - +1000 to all stats But really, I would like to be good at whatever I put my mind to, have a good sense of humor, and a good temper.
[*]Voice Tone, volume, frame, virtues, beliefs, faiths? - Supreme unshakable confidence. Yet at the same time I don't want to be an arrogant fool; I want to know when I should be humble, and when I'm wrong, I won't deny it; Unwavering morals; To seek and find the "truth".


Most of those things are within my control if I put in enough work.

* I would like to be a little taller. At least 5'10. A little more muscular and with a bit of a thicker hair. I like my voice, but I would like to add some volume to it.

* I would like to have some magical guitar skills, even though guitar doesn't attract me at all, I think it's an awesome talent and one of the most romantic things a man can do. Also, I would LOVE to sing. I love singing, but I suck lol. Seriously.

* I would love to have the skill of persuasion and leadership toned to the edge as well.

As I wrote this, I realized that all of these are the things I want and CAN get (with the exception of becoming taller), yet, I'm not pursuing.

Ah shibang. This was the purpose of my post. After recently going through some emotional turmoil, I found myself afterwards feeling so calm, like I was naked.

For some reason or another, I asked myself if I were to start life again, what would I like to be? The skills, talents and strengths...

• Slightly bulkier
• Clearer voice
• Good at Swimming
• A greater thirst for knowledge
• ...

Amongst several other things. Yet looking at them now, they're all accomplishable. I don't need to re-start life to be good at those things, yet the most important question to ask is why?

Why do you want these things? By highlighting the strengths you want, you can realise the weaknesses you think you have.

For example, the face that I want to be slightly bulkier shows that I'm slightly envious of bigger guys...why? Because social conditioning has taught me that girls like bigger guys...but do they really? Attraction comes in many shapes and sizes, and as we all know, anyone can build attraction. Therefore this 'weakness' is complete bullshit.

Tom, why fight against aging if it's going to happen anyway?
