Day 126: On Shedding Light on the Dark Things

Much  as  we  must  keep  returning  to  the  gym  and  pushing  weight

against resistance in order to sustain or increase our physical strength, so

we must persistently shed light on those aspects of ourselves that we prefer

not to see in order to build our mental, emotional and spiritual capacity.

—Jim Loehr

Who  likes  to  think  about  their  flaws,  let  alone  put  them  on  full

display?  We  hide  our  dark  side  —  our  mistakes,  our  failures,  temptations

we  couldn’t  overcome,  and  so  on.  Instead,  we  focus  on  our  strengths  and

proudly talk about our successes.

While  bombarding  yourself  with  self-guilt  or  embarrassment  isn’t  a

particularly  bright  strategy  for  success,  sometimes  it’s  necessary  to  shed

light on the dark side and pick a weakness to address or a temptation you

finally need to face and overcome.

Self-denial is ultimately a self-sabotaging strategy. By telling yourself

that  you  don’t  have  anything  to  worry  about,  you  might  feel  better

temporarily,  but  the  flaws  and  weaknesses  don’t  go  away.  You’re  missing

out on the opportunity to overcome them.

Right now, spend a few minutes thinking about your unpleasant traits

—  the  ones  that  you  always  ignore,  or  worse,  don’t  even  admit  that  you

have  them.  If  you’re  good  at  accepting  criticism  from  other  people,  ask

your friends what they think your biggest flaws are — and work on fixing

them.
