Yes!...if I am aware of my shortcomings....then I...hopefully...will be patient, have compassion and respect for others when they share their shortcomings or struggles.
Growing,
What is the possibility that we can talk you into having compassion and respect for yourself, with your OWN shortcomings, rather than just being aware of them?
Can you stand outside yourself, in your humility, and wear that T-shirt with the Einstein quote on it that says:
"I AM STILL LEARNING"
You are a work of fine art in progress. Every thing you learn about yourself is essential to crafting yourself further toward a joyous and meaningful life. We are all there with you!
