I think an interesting exercise is to fill in the blanks in the following statement:

I may not be very ______, but I am _______ .

I find that I easily lose my identity when trying to impress someone, and I have to remind myself that the key to success lies in the idea that you have to like yourself before others can like you.

I may not be very adventurous, but I am open minded.

I may not be very radical, but I am progressive in practical ways.

I may not be very athletic, but I am graceful.

I may not be very outgoing, but I am loyal to the last.

I may not be very vocal, but I am thoughtful.
