I've been obsessed with typology, especially MBTI for the past couple of years. I've read many books, and many articles online. I'm finally reading the book written by the creator...
The creator, the same type as I am, never gave up in trying to get her tool created and out there for the benefit of others. It seems she ran into much opposition from the academic community, and despite the cool, if not hostile opposition, she didn't give up.
She saw the suffering and tragedies of World War II, and hoped to develop something that would at least help avoid or decrease conflicts, thus potentially decreasing suffering in the world. To her, what she was doing was too important. Deeply motivated, she kept going.
This is a lesson I must learn from her. Lately, I feel I'm on the brink of giving up on something I've found to be important for many years now. My motivation is similar, in that I wish to decrease human suffering. But I'm deeply frustrated, when the most intelligent of people, fail to hear.
I have to find my resolve over and over again, remembering what it is I'm trying to do... I must learn to be more like Isabel... to be more like me...
