Unless I accept my virtues, I most certainly will be overwhelmed by my faults. ~Robert G. Coleman For many shame-based reasons, it is always easier to acknowledge our flaws than our good features. Perhaps in the beginning, we sought modesty over vanity when we learned to focus on imperfections. Since we didn't want to be conceited, we downplayed our good qualities until we forgot they existed. But even the best intentions can backfire. To recover is to comprehend truth. And the truth is, there is much that is right about us. The very fact that we are thinking, reflecting, and perhaps acting on the meditations in this book says many good things about us - that we are open-minded, sincere, and willing to make an effort. Until we accept the whole truth, our reality is based on a partial truth. Habitual self-deprecation isn't a virtue; it's a handicap that needs to be eliminated. I am a good person, and I am becoming better every day. I will not define myself by my flaws. Today's reading is from the book Days of Healing, Days of Joy: Daily Meditations for Adult Children*
