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.

Change Takes Time

Why do you want to change your life? Do you have what it takes to change your life? You can change your life if you believe you can. But you have got to be patient with yourself. Change takes courage. It takes time. You can do it if you believe you can.

Assess yourself. Make sure you check yourself for your strengths and weaknesses. Make sure you are ready to make the change that you want to make. Don’t change anything when you are not ready. Don’t change because people ask you to change. You change your life when you are ready. It is never too late to change what you don’t like in your life. It is never too late to modify what is not working well for you. It is never too late to maintain what is working for you.

Keep and maintain what is working for you. People try to change when they are not ready. If you are not ready and you jump into changing your life, for sure, you will mess up. Change takes time. Change is difficult. Change is inevitable. We are changing every day. But before you change, make sure you are changing for the right reasons. And if you are changing for the right reasons, be patient. Change is not going to happen overnight.

Ask yourself: “Do I have what it takes to achieve my goals?

Changing your life is important. Whether you like it or not, you are changing every day, and you will continue to change. If you are not changing, you are dying. If you are not adding value to your life, you are not helping your life. If you are not moving, you are staggering. If you don’t have a plan, you are wandering. If you don’t know where you are going, you are confused.

Believe you can change your life. According to Norman Vincent Peale, “You can if you think you can.” Do you really believe in yourself? If not, why?
