Funny enough, I've found a lot of my "attributes" really weren't necessarily "good things" - not the way I used them anyway. So, in that sense, listing what I thought was good about me opened my eyes to more defects and exact natures of defects......so I didn't get to keep that 'feels good' feeling so long but I did get to see that there was more going on with me than just the defects I was aware of from the get-go.
