Musings - Our Best and Our Worst are the same

Quirky but True.

Think about it...think of what we 'most like' and what we 'least like' about ourselves. If you're game actually make your list, maybe three points each. Likely you'll find that what was labeled as the best and the worst, turns out to be the very same thing. Or more accurately, different versions of the same theme.

And this becomes really significant when we're looking at awareness and change...identifying what's not serving well and needs change. 

To watch..as it is also likely on the list of your best qualities too.

For instance, if least liked was one persons tendency to take center stage often, what was most liked was her dynamic and energetic and entertaining personality. If least liked was failure to be transparent, direct and spontaneous, what was most liked was her kindness, tact and respect for the others feelings. If another's sense of entitlement and 'me first' attitude was difficult, it was also her ability to identify and articulate her own goals, and 'go for it ' attitude that was most admired.

This is the inseparable nature of our strengths and weaknesses....... as they are woven from the same fabric.

What this really brings to the fore is why it becomes so difficult to overcome our weaker areas or change specific traits...they are too closely connected to our core strengths.

What seems to then work is awareness of its manifestations. More self acceptance and awareness. Focus not on getting rid of the difficult facets, but to identify and reinforce the positive facets...... they would then likely show up more :)
