Knowing your faults

I know that I forgot to write Tuesday.  I could give you a list of excuses, but the honest truth is that I forgot.  This slip-up reminded me of a post that I have been meaning to write since I started this blog nearly a month ago: knowing your faults. 

A piece of advice given to me by my dad that I still use today is: unless it becomes necessary, don’t tell people your faults.  People will figure out your faults anyway, you probably do not want to give them a head start.  It’s not that having faults makes you less amazing, because I still hold the idea that everyone can be amazing. It’s that constantly telling people your faults shows lack of confidence and makes it so people can’t see past your faults.

  Of course, you should be able to laugh at yourself (a blog post I will give later).And, every once in a while, it is okay, or even encouraged, for you to make your faults public.  But, don’t make it a habit and remember to love yourself in the process.

            But, just because you don’t announce your faults in public doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t know them.  If you can’t dance and are not willing to take the time to learn, then don’t sign up for a dance contest.  If you know you are a slow reader, you should then plan more time to read a book then someone else who is a speed reader.  I think one step to become amazing is uncovering you faults and either try to conquer them and if that is not possible, then account for them.
