Are They Character Flaws or Growth Opportunities? - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Think about the person you like and admire most. It could be anyone in your life besides you – who do you hold in high esteem?

Take a few minutes today to write down all the positive attributes you can come up with about that person. Write until you can’t think of even one more thing. Then, make a separate list of all the negative attributes they have.

Compare the lists – I’m guessing that their positive aspects outweigh the negatives, right?

Do you see words like “smart” “wise” “loving” “kind” “wise” “helpful” on the positive list? Most people admire people who have traits like that. On the list of negatives, are there any really strong words like “hate” or “evil”? Probably not, or you wouldn’t be feeling admiration for them.

Yes, we’re all human, and we all have plusses and minuses in our personalities and skill sets, and that’s OK. You’ve just shown yourself that you can overlook the negatives in someone you care about, so I want you to think about this: why are you so hard on your own negative aspects?

Instead of looking at them as character flaws, can you look at them as opportunities for personal growth?
