Shortcomings? I’ve got plenty. Don’t we all?
Don’t we all scramble for upright at times? Don’t we all fall short, at least on occasion?
I find the repeat areas of struggle, “areas of growth”, well hell, those are the best teachers, providing insight to improve, insight to improve.
A present-day Stoic, Ryan Holiday , he wrote a book, “The Obstacle Is The Way” … it captures the essence of the attitude, perspective, approach to handling struggle, handling “shortcomings” …
Don’t step away, lean-in, shortcomings, a-o-k, motivation, indication, inspiration to get better,
Make it good anyway,
GOOD.
