This comment created a thread of thought process.
We don’t understand who we are and what our strengths are. We are aware of and realize only a fraction of our potential.
Insecurity from lack of appreciation of our strengths. Low
self esteem because of unawareness makes it hard for us to appreciate others for what and who they are. Making us unduly competitive, unappreciative and demanding of others.
Our
challenges and failures come from “whatever it takes” and life time of
conditioning - “best
way to make a line smaller is by drawing bigger one”. We put too much pressure
on ourselves constantly comparing to others. We never take a breath to
appreciate and enjoy what we have and our strengths. It’s far more rewarding to leverage your strengths
compared to overcoming limitations.
Big challenge in retaining personal or
organizational leadership (overcoming limitations) is in understanding Smart
people & ideas are grounded in information & facts, requiring people to
interact with patience.
You have responsibility for your world (perception, point of view and so
on). Don’t let others shape your point of view. This is ignorance. When you do
your tasks by appreciating there are many forces at work, not all under your
control, this is wisdom. (What’s
missing from our answers?)
Maturity is learning to
walk away from people and situations that threaten your peace of mind ,
self respect,
values, Morales or self worth.
