What? It's okay to be weak? But why!? Shouldn't you always be tough!?
Yeah thats what I thought for most of my life now.
But I realize that it's okay to make mistakes, It's okay to have weaknesses.
Everyone Has Them
You can pretend you don't, You can put on a mask. You can act like your a perfect person without any flaws.
Will it work?
Maybe!
People may not like you as much though; This is a common theme throughout Utah. The LDS church encourages its members to be "Perfect" I was raised in it. People are incredibly phony and terrified of showing any flaws that they have. Sometimes when they leave the church, As I have. They can be themselves, And It's bizzare seeing what person they were meant to be. ONce they are free from that influence.
No one is perfect, And while you can do your best to hide your weaknesses they are there! Haven't you noticed the honesty these days? People love those who are raw, Open about their every flaw. People no longer like companies that act like they have a product that can 100% Do everything for you.
Stop Focusing On Whats Wrong With You
We all could spend all day focusing on our strange looking face, Our inability to get things done. Whatever it is. We all have flaws somewhere. Television and Magazines can influence us in such a bad way, Making us feel like we aren't good enough, We aren't pretty enough. But no one needs that type of negativity in their life.
We Can Work Around Weaknesses
I like knowing where my boundaries and weaknesses are Because then I can work around them and use that to quickly accomplish my goals. If I Know that I will slack off around the afternoon, ANd It's just automatic, I Know I can switch tasks around that time. I also know how Impulsive I am, So I attempt to remove as many temptations as possible. Because if something good comes up, I may not be able to resist.
You can work around your weaknesses, so you don't have to suffer because of them.
You Can Work On Weaknesses
Not only can you work around them, But if it's something that deeply bothers you about yourself, You can work on them, Eventually eliminating them from your life. This takes a lot of work, But if you pull it off, you won't have to worry about it bothering you anymore.
Conclusion
We don't have to spend our whole lives trying to hide what our weaknesses They are there, And that's okay! Work around them. And be open about them.

This post has a weakness, no pic of you! :P
Everyone has their good and not-as-good qualities; that's what makes us unique! If there is something we want to change, we can. But if we have some quality we like, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as we're happy with it. Just random babbling inspired by your awesome post!
Have a great Sunday!

@kaylinart -i agree with you that we need not be tough all the time. I believe that first we need to stop acting tough, recognise and admit our weaknesses to ourselves. Only then it is possible to work on them. Being aware of our weaknesses actually strengthens us since we are usually able to fashion actions that leverage our strengths without triggering our weaknesses. Even the bravest soldiers are afraid before a battle but that does not stop them from being brave
Thanks for voicing this thought though the usual belief system prevents us from talking about weaknesses in general. Upvoted.

So agree with this post! Accepting our weaknesses does not mean having to focus on it. It's rather freeing when you realize that you don't spend so much energy on creating a picture of perfection. Thanks for sharing and the reminder.

I like how you embrace weakness. I think by honoring yourself this way, the weakness flips to become a strength. I feel for those people you describe who have to hide themselves from their own religion. Is it the religion itself that creates that? Or just the culture around it?

become weak is not always bad, and be strong not always good. We just need to be thankful to make our lives steady.

Very true. We all are human and we do have weaknesses but we can turn it into our one of the strongest point. Everything is up to us. Keep your under control and you can achieve anything.

To show weakness is to show that you are human. We are created to fail and make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. It gives us room to grow. So what if you fail. Pick yourself up. Dust off the dirt and look forward. Never behind..

no one in this world is perfect... and no one should be. Our weaknesses make us unique and they make us human. It is always good to grow, try to be better and strive for perfection. But it is also a strength acknowledging our weaknesses and accepting them.

Not able to be open, and admit your weakness or weaknesses, is a weakness by itself. It was mine for a long time. And still is many times...

My weakness is that I am a flat-pan die-hard workaholic .

At some point I think I will be too busy to attend my own funeral.

Agreed @kaylinart, we definitely don't have to be "tough" all the time. Being male and older (50's) I was very much raised with the "boys need to be tough" philosophy... but along the way I came to understand that "having a weakness" and "BEING weak" are two quite different things... it;s all in how you define something, to yourself.
Great post!

I have many weaknesses in my personality and I let people make fun of them. Why? It encourages me to overcome and eventually eliminates those weaknesses. Till that time, I try to follow "Be Yourself" approach, it satisfies my soul!

@kaylinart Weaknesses that will actual hinder we from performing successfully – Although it is important to display an actual weakness, we don’t want to show that we have a weakness that happens to play in integral part in the success of the position. But it's really a great article thanks for sharing with us

I must admit that I even have warm feelings to some of my weaknesses:) But it wasn't like that for all my life. As most of us I had a period when I pretended to have none of them, but it was way too hard (+a lie).

Being honest and open about one's weaknesses doesn't make someome weak. In fact, I find a great amount of strength in someone being real about their weaknesses. Those moments of vulnerability that we share with each other. That is what brings people together. The people who attempt to act "perfect" are in fact the weak ones. They allow their fears to overshadow who they really are. It creates bigotry, racism, sexism, and a myriad of other discriminatory demeanors. We all have weaknesses, and societies should foster being able to be real about them. Don't hide them, don't feel like you are "lesser." Embrace them, be real about them, and you'll begin to grow as a person.

If we hide our disease it will become worse and after sometimes it will become uncurable but if we tell about it our doctor or somebody else, they may give us medications and can cure it. In the same way we should not hide our weaknesses otherwise it willl become stronger day by day and we will not be able to remove them after a certain point of time.

Yes, everyone has weaknesses. Sometimes we can use our weaknesses as part of our strengths.
Paul wrote, And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

Me encanta leer este tipo de post @pokaylinart porque el internet las redes sociales nos mantienen en una presion extrema en cuanto a la perfeccion se refiere, creo que una de las cosas mas reales es nuestra imperfeccion y no solo hay que aceptarlas sino aprender a vivir con ellas, luego de un proceso de concienciacion las podemos superar de una forma opima y sencilla felicidades
