Embrace who you are

“One’s own duty, even if imperfectly performed, is better than being done by other even if well performed.”- Bhagavad Gita

Be content to be thought stupid and foolish

“If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.”- Epictetus

Focus on what matters, not what is urgent

“Beware of the barrenness of a busy life.”- Socrates

Learn how to laugh at life

“When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and when I see not one ray of light on the horizon… I immediately begin to smile in the midst of overwhelming sorrow.”- Bhagavad Gita

Be grateful for what you have

“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.”- Cicero

Love yourself and the people around you

“Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.”- Hippocrates

Here Is Why You Should Embrace Your Weakness

Your strength does not grow out of your strength. Your strength grows out of your weakness. Your weakness is what makes you unique. It is yours. Nothing is the same. “Everything is different.” Your weakness is another person’s strength. Your strength is another person’s weakness. That is why you should NEVER beat yourself up about anything. It won’t help you get closer to your true life.

No one is perfect. And no one is good at everything. Some people are good at mathematics. Other people are good at history. That is what life is all about: It is about imperfection.

“If you want to grow yourself, you must redefine your relationship with your weakness.”

If you want to change yourself, if you want to grow yourself, do not see your weakness as your weakness, see it as a chance to better your life. If you pay attention to your weakness, you can learn a valuable lesson from it. But if you don’t embrace your weakness, you are not going to learn anything from it.

Your weakness is your learning opportunity. Don’t waste it. Take it. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our strength grows out of our weakness.” If you want to improve your life, you must pay attention to your weakness. Don’t ignore your weakness, develop it. If you want to really improve your life, redefine your relationship with your weakness.
