There is sometimes a certain moment in your life, that you are able to recognize your mistakes, your faults, what made you weak, but you also recognize how those faults make you strong. It is not the case that wrong makes you a stronger person, unless you value negative acts towards others as a personal strength. It is what you learn from faults and what you try to redeem those things for that constructs the strength that you own due to those faults.
Characteristics that you had, could seem opaque maybe even hidden. Perhaps you do remember that you had them in you, but maybe you forgot about them yourself. They would hide for the moment while you weren’t able to be who you could be, either because of an attitude, immaturity, arrogance, whatever the problem was at that precise moment. Fortunately, those good qualities stayed with you, even while you were at your worst. This is because your good qualities had always been there with you, but you would start to forget their prevalence and importance in your life once the stigma of your attitude, and other negative aspects of the self would become more visible than the good qualities you had.
Sometimes, you have to live through a moment in which you start to realize how you want to change, and how much you know you can change; because you are so set in not only proving it to others, but first and foremost you should prove it to yourself. You might have messed up in something like your job, maybe your goals, or with someone. But although that mess up might seem so hurtful and confusing at a certain time; at least you’re now able to accept the mess-up, and perhaps even understand its nature. With this, you should pat yourself in the back for knowing that you recognized that you actually made a mistake. Yeah you did it, but at least you’re learning from it That’s humility and not a weakness. You are able to grow. You are able to change.
Those mess ups might have affected you in some part of your life at a certain moment; but it is without a doubt that the effect that such event had in you, will always make you remember who you strive to be; not for the future, but focusing on what you will be today. You realize you do have the potential to change now. You just thought you were all those other negative things first than the good qualities that you ALSO have. I realized that sometimes it is hard to realize the good things that one has, perhaps it was due to a sense of being more the negative you than the positive side of you which could be fuelled by the stigma tat could have already created about you and the stigma that you had also created about yourself. It is only when you no longer care about the stigma, negative feedback, or walls to prevent your growth as a person that you can truly let yourself be; to live a life that you might have have been striving for a long time to live. It is the blessing of realizing this, that lets you into a different dimension, a different future, a different appreciation for everything. Leading you to a much better life than the one you thought you would have.
