Tackle Your Areas of Weakness
Whatever You Neglect Will Come Back To Haunt You
Affirmation > Criticism
It’s not unreasonable to admit you probably focus on your strengths more than your weaknesses. It’s only natural behavior.
Which is harder to do:
1. Focus on the good (affirmation)
2. Focus on what needs improvement (criticism)
For most people, it’s easier to receive a compliment than a critique. We all want to hear about how great we are instead of how much we suck at x, y, and z.
Many of us have issues admitting our failings, mistakes, and underperforming areas. We also avoid educating ourselves about the least familiar subjects because it’s comfortable not challenging ourselves. Humans don’t enjoy discomfort.
Self-Awareness
However, with self-awareness, you can make improvements to your life.
For example:
I’ve avoided two types of investing out of ignorance and fear. After learning more about them, I immediately and ecstatically started investing in these two spheres.
I enjoy reading more about things unrelated to emotional well-being and relationships. Yet, these are areas of opportunity for me.
What areas are you weak in? What subjects do you need to educate yourself about? What area of your life do you struggle with most?
The longer you wait to address your responses to these questions, the weaker you become. It’s like working out. If you stop working out, your muscles weaken; if you consistently workout, your muscles strengthen.
Neglect Always Comes Back To Find You
Tackle your areas of weakness because whatever you neglect, pretty soon, it will matter.
If I didn’t learn about the two investing subjects, my portfolio would stagnate, and I would miss out on lucrative opportunities. If I neglect to study and make an effort to improve my emotional well-being and relationships, I will not be able to enjoy healthy and fulfilling relationships with myself and others.
There is a hidden cost of neglecting your weaker areas. Don’t leave yourself, victim, to hidden costs of neglect.
