Ignoring our weaknesses
Most of you would agree that everybody has some weakness - be it workaholic nature, high temperament, slow decision-making, addiction to something, listening inability or just procrastination. Weakness is meant to be identified and improved upon.
The Perception
Everybody has some weakness. And its not a result of instant change. We have developed our weakness over a period of time, either by not recognizing it or by ignoring it. Many people don't even know about their weakness until a particular time. Say, you are a workaholic, you don't even identify it. According to you, you are in the learning phase of your career so you are working day & night to gain as much knowledge as possible. But looking it from the other side, you are missing the personal & social life. You don't indulge in your hobbies, don't contact or talk much with people. Its no wrong that you are learning a great deal. But time is ever-changing & once passed, it never comes back. So enjoy your golden days balancing the professional & personal life.
Many a time, we know our weakness, but ignore it as it causes no harm. Ignoring a weakness is worse than not knowing it. Once you start adjusting with your weakness, it takes control over you. Over a period of time, we forget it altogether. We carry it all the way till the point when it hampers our professional, personal, social or spiritual life. Prevention is always better than cure. If you know your weakness, don't adjust with it, don't ignore it.
The Development
It’s obvious that we focus on our strong points or abilities to harness their fruitful outcomes. But we neglect the dark side. Some people don't want to know their weakness, some don't want to work over it, & some don't feel the necessity to improve - whatever is the case but most of us ignore our weakness. One cannot conquer success unless he/she conquer himself. There is always a scope for improvement. We are generally very good at pinpointing others weakness, but feel short when identifying our own.
Someone said "Life would be very smooth if we follow the advice that we give to others". Everybody has weakness, & there is always a scope for improvement - the only thing needed is willingness to improve. Success would be ever-growing if one wishes to improve upon his/her weakness constantly. Observe, understand, analyze & act - when clubbed with willingness to improve sets one on a self-development path which empowers you to succeed at every obstacle you face in life.
The improvement journey
Some people do work on their weakness. Others ignore it. Some improve upon it when the need arises. Some don't know about their weakness - many of those who know have least concern at improving it. Whatever be the case, it hinders with our overall development. To keep succeeding constantly, one needs to work on his/her weakness constantly. So, identify your weakness & start your self-improvement journey today to grow successful.
