You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?” Robert Louis Stevenson. What is weakness? According to Dictionary.com, weakness is an inadequate or defective quality, as in a person’s character, slight fault or defect. However, strength is something that is regarded as being beneficial or a source of power according to The Free Dictionary.We all have the tendency to work on our strengths instead of our weaknesses. It’s much easier that way right? We need to turn our attention to our weaknesses and face them head on. It is only in acknowledging our weaknesses and working on them that we can make them our strengths. “My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.” Michael Jordon.
Something great happens when our strengths and weaknesses are in harmony. When we start to focus more on our weaknesses, they start to be pulled up by our strengths. When we operate our lives this way, we are in a constant state of improvement. Everything is constantly getting better, so our lives are constantly getting better. We will literally transform our lives when we can figure this out.
“Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.” Jean Vanier. Weaknesses are not equivalent to any disabilities. Weaknesses can only be overcome with great dedication and devotion. Therefore, it is important that we take a day, or a week or a month and focus on our weaknesses, and bring them up from a two or three up to five notches until our weaknesses are tagging along with our strengths. Then, we must continue to level up until we feel the magnetic pull of our weaknesses by our strengths. This will put us in a constant state of improvement.
Consequently, we must make a commitment to strengthen our weaknesses. “If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it.” William Penn. For more on how to strengthen your weaknesses please Go Here!

Have to agree with Terri on this one Nichola. Thanks for sharing.
I believe a person shouldn't focus on their personal weaknesses since none of us are perfect. It is BEST to live in your strengths and live in your passions. When you look at all the people that are successful, they didn't spend time focusing on their weaknesses and no one else should. Shared via Syndication Automation.
