I forgot to pack my pants [Portugal Diaries]
Thinking about this and what it all means (one of my favourite past times). I’m naturally a pretty disorganised and messy person. I’ve missed flights before and my home has been known to sometimes look like the scene of a robbery. Friends always say how surprising this is - think of me as super organised. And I am when it comes to some things, like having fun and stuff for other people. Maybe we unknowingly hide our “weaknesses” from others until our guard clocks off? Good news is we are malleable beings who can change our ways, with the right intention, awareness and intervention of course. And progress is being made on my personal organisation front. But change isn’t linear, is it? Plus only having the pair of pants you wore on the plane for a holiday where you’re mainly wearing a bikini isn’t the end of the world either, right? #itsnotA&E
Old man Shakespeare wrote “your greatest strength begets your greatest weakness”. So flip the messy/disorganised coin and we’ve got flexible, spontaneous, relaxed, creative, big picture thinker. Oh this is a fun game!
What about you? What strengths can you find hidden in the shadows of your “weaknesses?” I’d love to know!
