Everyone has weaknesses…
which can be magnified if in denial of them… due to ego.
Strong ego ironically is a weakness.
It is only through acceptance of our weaknesses
that we can work with them,
softening our ego in the process.

Knowing my own limitations,
is not a sign of weakness,
nor something to be ashamed of either.
For it is through one’s weakness,
that one can start to improve oneself.
How can I find my true self,
if I keep trying to cover up?
:oups:
Sometimes intellect is a hindrance,
We think we are too clever to not know.
And we think we understand ourselves,
Not knowing that our ego/knowledge is keeping wisdom at bay.
The greatest strength (from realising non-self)
arises from realising
the greatest weakness (is attachment to self)!
