Weakness and Strength…

People will expect you to be perfect, when you pretend to be flawless…

When you think you are prefect, you succeed in deceiving yourself and no one else… 

People will attack you for not being perfect when you are willfully ignorant of your imperfection…

Being aware of your weaknesses helps you see yourself as others see you and helps you know yourself as you truly are…

Weaknesses and flaws should not help you celebrate failure, but should help you understand the areas you need the strength of others to succeed…  

Weakness is neither a badge of honor nor is it a badge of shame…

True strength is only on display when helping the weak overcome their weakness…

Maturity is not perfection; it is the ever-increasing understanding of both weakness and strength and the ability humbly balance between the two…

It is only in proclaiming our weaknesses that we can start to hear the reply of strength…

Live each day at whatever level of understanding you have of your weaknesses and strengths while seeking to understand more about both…

Let your weaknesses show you where you need to be lifted up by others and let your strength show you where you can lift others up…

And don’t pretend to be an expert about either… Just be the best you that you  know how to be today and help others be the best they can be…

Walking purpose does not mean you will not stumble; it means that every once in a while we fall in the right direction.

And if we look around after dusting ourselves off, we will find that even in falling forward, we have moved a little further toward our destiny…

LOVE AT ALL TIMES, LIVE LIFE AS A CELEBRATION AND ALWAYS PURSUE YOUR PURPOSE – AJSG
