Humans are humans because of their weaknesses, it is what makes God superior to us as He is flawless and has no weak side. So if any human would hope for the day on earth he or she will be without weakness, it would be a complete waste of time. We get to have what to live for, what to grow from, what to improve on, when we have weaknesses from time to time.
There are many situations that can try our weaknesses just as we use our strengths when situations call for it. Identifying our weaknesses and strengths, I believe is the path to full self strength.
For me, I've been living with a weakness since I was little but I've been confirming how weak it is and how much it is holding me back from what I really want to be in life. Confirming this weakness of mine has helped me in strengthening it to an extent but it still remains a weakness I want to get rid of totally.
Can I get rid of this weakness? Isn't this weakness a part of who I am?
I've asked myself these questions a lot of times and I'm yet to get the right answers to them. This is because I feel like I am trying to find comfort in my weakness, no plans to change from it or at least improve to be better in my strengths. It was actually hard to accept that I have this weakness, thinking it was normal to be that way but with time, it doesn't feel that way anymore.
"I find it hard to believe in myself, low self esteem is a weakness I want to get rid of".
This weakness is not at the severe stage though if you know what I mean. What I mean is, I underestimate what I can do a lot of times and I think it is a weakness that is limiting the things I have to do and I may have missed opportunities to show my full potentials because I don't believe I have them.
I remember sometimes during my university days when I don't believe I'll do well in exams that have been marked as difficult to pass. I would let the fear overwhelm me until my friends would encourage and even scold me out of it, most times I do even better in those exams than I expect.
Surprisingly, a lot of times I've fought through my weakness to do something even though I don't believe I'll be able to do it, I succeed in it and prove myself wrong but I still find it hard to believe in myself next time. Sometimes I wonder if I really have this weakness and other times, I am sure it is there holding me back.
I want to create a balance with this weakness because I've also experienced some good sides of it but the negatives seem more so I want a balance where I'll end up using this weakness to achieve more alongside my strengths. Creating a full self strength using my weakness and one way I've been doing this is fighting through my weakness when situations calls for it.
