Skillful Traveler

the Mirror

I am Mahir.
ماهر Mahir, the skilled, the industrial the apt.

My Core Motivation that guides me through life is "Peace."
This is not referring to a political agenda or the absence of war.
It is, however, an absence of inner conflict, much closer to the idea of serenity or “ﺳﻜﻴﻨﺔ”, and an acceptance of oneself and others.

I have a strong and compelling need to keep things in balance in my life so as to maintain an internal feeling of tranquillity and comfort.

I seek independence from what is dishonourable and require kindness, especially from those with whom i am in a relationship.

I resist confrontation at all costs.

I am quiet by nature, process things in depth and in reason, this has given me great clarity I did not possess before.

I am a good listener and I respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle. I need my "alone time" and refuse to be controlled by others. I an not easily lead and I often what to do things my own way and in my own time.

I used have the tendency to accommodate what others want instead of having to tell them "no". Consequently, this lead me to get overloaded with what other people expect of me and make mistakes. I do Not enjoy conflict in the least. “Argumentation is a sign of error” I enjoy being with people, but i do not need constant social interaction by any stretch of the imagination.

I like my alone time which allows me to process thoughts and to be in Remembrance through Prayer.

Doing the right thing is more important to me then feeling good and comfortable on the inside. I believe people should not create unnecessary conflict or confrontation and that people need to be able to help each other become comfortable confronting the necessary issues and not allow one an escape route through dishonesty.

There are some things feel colourless about. Sometimes Embarrassed and confused about mistakes and things i have done in the past. And for those people, i hope they are able to forgive me for my mistakes as i have learnt to forgive and forget the inadequacies of others.
