This is my favourite article if yours so far. I have spent much energy and garnered much guilt from trying to completely eliminate my flaws and then failing. I realised this wasn't working, so I decided to accept my flaws, to an extent, and then try and fill my time doing the good things, so the bad things would minimise anyway as a consequence. I'm still a work in progress! But reading this has given me much encouragement and enthusiasm. Thank you, Gena 🙂

Thank you for writing this. It is going to stay with me for a very long time.

Never looked at flaws in this way. Thank you!

I needed this. My default mode in life lately is "playing not to lose" instead of "playing to win." Thanks for the encouragement to play to win. (From a depressed person who needs some challenging work)
