What is the Meaning of Dynamic?

Merriam-Webster's DYNAMIC definition (adjective for a person) is: continuous and productive activity or change; energetic, vigorously active, enthusiastic; having many ideas.

True Mydentity prefers to add a little more flavor to that meaning of dynamic.

Along with their electric energy and extraordinary enthusiasm, the dynamic person genuinely enjoys the challenge, and is typically motivated by finding an optimal solution or winning the contest. They may be a bit rebellious due to a strong tendency to be innovative and creative, as they search for the path less traveled; always looking for new and better ways of doing things.

Their dynamic character keeps them open-minded and willing to embrace change, as they recognize it is an ongoing state of affairs in the natural world. They are confident in their abilities and trust their instincts, but also understand the importance of continuous learning through development of their skills and expanding their experiences. Because the more they can master, the more dynamic they become.

How Being Dynamic May Play Out in Relationships

In personal relationships, the dynamic person brings excitement and positivity, typically possessing a true zest for life. Being great communicators and motivators, they tend to strive to make the most of things, and bring the best out of those around them.

They are likely to be engaged, energetic, and present. They are generally open to trying new things and exploring new experiences, which can bring excitement and novelty to the relationship. This helps keep things fresh and engaging, instead of slipping into stale routines, boredom and monotony.

The dynamic person is an encourager, a protagonist and motivator. They want the people they care about to have fun, enjoy themselves, and as Thoreau wrote, "suck out all the marrow of life;" making the most of every moment.

And that is why the dynamic person may also bring a bit of humor to a relationship. They are typically rather witty and prefer to keep things on the positive side, so if things get bumpy, they may bring some lighthearted humor in an attempt to diffuse things. That said, they tend to be in touch with their own circumstances, so they have a pretty good idea when the use of humor may not be appropriate.

Dynamic people prefer to actively participate in conversations. Due to their high level of curiosity, they ask many questions, and also enjoy sharing their own experiences and perspectives. At the same time, a dynamic person is not afraid to take the lead and drive the conversation.

They are also likely to be good listeners with an uncanny ability to make someone feel valued. They tend to show genuine interest, curiosity and empathy in the lives and stories of loved ones and friends.

How to be More Dynamic

To become more of a dynamic person, it really comes down to motivation, curiosity, communication and willingness to share each of those with others. Here are 10 things to consider and put into practice as you grow your dynamic character:

1. Look Good, Feel Good - It has been shown that how you feel about how you look can enhance your mood and behavior, so if you’re looking to be more dynamic than surely look the part.
2. Know Your Audience - When you plan to be around other people, set pre-established boundaries regarding acceptable topics of conversation and levels of behavior.
3. Your Body Language - Communication is a key factor in being a dynamic person and body language is half the battle. Your facial expressions can tell a lot about how you feel about something. Casual, comfortable eye contact shows you’re intentionally giving a person your attention. And, your posture can show if you’re open to an experience or more closed off to it.
4. Your Tone of Voice - How you say things is more important than the words you actually say. People will pick up on your tone easier than comprehending the words you say. So your tone of voice plays another important role in how well you communicate with others.
5. Listen Intently - When you can listen intently to what people are sharing with you, it’s much easier to understand that person, and it shows you value what they’re saying by focusing on them.
6. Be Curious, Ask Questions - To that point, asking questions is a great way to show your curiosity to learn and understand more, and you’re willing to spend more of your valuable time listening. The person speaking with you will tend to feel prioritized, more important, and it will likely drive them to share more.
7. Be Genuine - To be a dynamic person, you must be authentically you and genuine with your words and actions. People want to trust those they admire, follow and rely on and one of the best ways to do so is to carry yourself honestly.
8. Stay Up on Current Events - Know what’s going on in the world so you can at minimum understand the topics that may come up in conversations, but even more so, to have an opinion or perspective that may be valuable to others.
9. Try New Things - Experience different things, and satisfy your curiosity. This provides you with an arsenal of unique stories and personal experiences to share with others, while helping you to expand your own knowledge and skills as you grow.
10. Share Personal Stories - Be personable and share your experiences with others. Give them your side of the story. Tell them about what you went through, or what you really enjoyed doing. This gives them a glimpse into who you are and builds more trust. It may also convince them to try something new based on your experience or recommendation.
