Value your flaws

Although each experience may take a certain toll, each moment is also another opportunity to become better acquainted with your flaws.  Do you fidget in your chair just thinking about it? Or, are you anxious about the opportunity to learn to do the best you can with all that you are?  Some people struggle to identify personal flaws and other people can't detach themselves from them.

Its possible you sense one of your flaws could be chronic restlessness.  You know, the kind that makes it difficult to appreciate where you are when you're there because your mind is already focused on where you're heading.  What about those blessing staring right at you in the face?  This flaw may be characteristic of many people in modern places.  Perhaps part of you seeks to make up for a relative's mistakes or, to live up to someone else's expectations? What did they teach you about flaws?

At some point, its within your reach to attain self-acceptance. This entails not only getting-to-know your traits, strengths and weaknesses, but also coming to recognize your limits and ultimately, your mortality.  The idea of valuing your flaws doesn't suggest you should ignore or disregad them.  Yet, it doesn't invite you to dwell on them incessantly or self-criticize either.  What does it entail to you now?

The whole notion of valuing your flaws is like an invitation to get-to-know pitfalls so you don't fall into them or, at least don't fall into the same ones repeatedly.  Why would it be desirable not to become too hungry to please? Too complacent to notice details? Too fearful to take chances that would lead to meaningful experiences?  Each perceived flaw is an opportunity to learn and share wisdom.  What have you done and why? Keeping a journal will help track 'the good, bad and the ugly'.
