It is given that humans have weaknesses and strengths because we aren't if we have none. Oftentimes those weaknesses become a hindrance to achieving our goals in life. Sometimes, other people will take advantage of them for selfish reasons. While some will take their weaknesses to pull out some strengths as they don't want to surrender against battles of life. And that's when weaknesses become positive.
As much as I love my strengths, my weaknesses show inevitably, and sometimes those strengths become my weakness as well. And even if I want to get rid of them, that seems impossible as they have been implanted in my system. We all have them and show up when we become vulnerable. But those just happened for a reason, to make us tougher and to strengthen our abilities to handle every challenge that comes to our lives.
Some Of My Weaknesses And Strengths
They said that our past experiences torment us. That is true. And one weakness that I hate the most is giving all I have and becoming foolish when I am too much in love. I become blinded by the feelings to the point that I forget to love myself anymore. I become foolish to the point that I forget that there are people that truly love me, my family. So after that painful experience in my life, I swore to myself not to be captivated by the feeling of love again. And by far, it's the only promise that I was able to keep for a long time.
Another weakness that I have is being too goal-oriented, and I guess you guys are aware of it. Some might consider this as a strength, but this strength of mine is actually my weakness. Due to overwhelming goals I set to attain in life, I tend to compromise other aspects, such as health and not giving more quality time to myself. Sometimes when I am hooked on something, I tend to forget to rest as much as I want to finish that thing before the day ends, making my body too exhausted.
Moreover, I'm an emotional person that easily gets affected by the bad happenings around me. My mood easily swings depending on the situation. I easily get worried about the things I am not able to execute. I tend to mind other people's thoughts and what they will say about me. This is something I don't like the most about myself because living in other people's heads isn't giving me peace of mind.
But above all, my family is my greatest weakness. I have this in mind. I would rather get sick than my family. I rather suffer more than see them struggling. I rather sacrifice my happiness for their own sake. They are my weakness to the point that I can't refuse their demands, especially when necessary. And they are my top priority.
Yet, my family is also my strength. They are my inspiration to keep going in life. All hardships are being conquered and goals are being set, not just for myself, but most especially for them. Despite the challenges, I remained strong for my dreams and family.
And being a resilient and persevering person allows me to keep going regardless of the obstacles that come my way. Probably because I have no option but to. Besides, moving backward isn't an appropriate alternative, and giving up isn't my forte. I may be getting tired at times, but my dreams and loved ones keep me motivated to endure every pain and conquer every obstacle that will come my way.
In the end, I know that my hardships will be well paid off.

We all had weaknesses and strengths but we seem to be more in common with the family as our sort in both...
