Know Your Own Flaws!

Think about this question for a minute ...

How much easier life would be if we knew (before getting to know someone), what their flaws were? The world would be a much better place right? WRONG!!! Knowing someone else's flaws won't help you any unless you are aware of YOUR OWN FLAWS! Let's face facts here for a minute, no one knows us better than we know ourselves. With that being said, why is it our human nature to expect those who are closest to us, to know things that we ourselves, haven't come to grips with yet?

Let's look at some quick examples. If you know that you are a jealous person when it comes to your relationship; why would you date a Stripper? If you know that you have 2 children to take care of; why would you accept a job that only pays $7 an hour? Why? Because not only do you like making yor own life harder ... YOU have not yet accepted your own flaws.

In order to have any type of relationship (friendships and business relationships included), one must know themselves and be comfortable with themselves. It's like the old saying goes, "You can't be happy with someone else if you are not happy with yourself." Lord, I wish I knew who actually said that! I would love to shake their hand! If we all owned up to our personal flaws, we would be able to see clearly how much our flaws really do affect our daily lives.

Any self-help book will tell you that the first step to solving a problem is to first admit that you have one! If you can identify your own flaws, it will be that much easier to take the necessary steps to overcome them.

Short, simple and to the point! ~~~> Jo Jo Said It !!
