Flaws. We all have them.
Seriously, WE ALL HAVE THEM; no matter what anybody says.
So, how come we allow the people we deem “better” than us to have their flaws?… Yet hate ourselves to no end because we have our own?
Why do we tell ourselves that those “flaws” in fact make them great?… Yet develop a psychologically deep hatred for our own?
Look at all the rockstars in our world. How many are doing drugs? Heavy drugs? Deadly drugs?… A lot!
Yet, we allow them! We tell ourselves that it comes with the “genius”.
Genius is rebellious. Genius is misunderstood. Genius is wild!
Geniuses have flaws that make them better.
Rockstar wouldn’t be able to write that kind of music if they weren’t on drugs.
Blues artists wouldn’t be able to sing the blues if they weren’t impoverished.
Tech billionaire geeks wouldn’t be able to be that smart if they weren’t bad with girls.
…etc. …etc.
Yet these people don’t pick at their flaws. NO! They embrace them! And move on to doing what their good at.
And we’re okay with that.
Question. Why don’t we see ourselves as rockstars?
Why don’t we accept our flaws, and move on?… Instead of picking at them, and picking at them, and picking at them?
