"No man is entirely free from weakness and imperfection in this life." -John Adams, Founding Father and former President of the United States, John Adams books//

Everyone has flaws, weaknesses and tiny imperfections in their character. Even though many religions teach that humans were created in the image of the Almighty, it is universally accepted that none of us are perfect like Him (or Her, depending on your persuasion). Even if you're an agnostic, you understand the concept that no one is without flaws. So, how much time should you spend fixing your imperfections? Adams claims that, no matter what you do, you will never be perfect, so is it a goal worth pursuing? Absolutely not! Too many people spend too much time trying to overcome weaknesses, rather than accentuating strengths. If you are focused on your weaknesses, what do you think the people around you are going to focus on? They are going to see your flaws! It's fine to be vulnerable, and that's not a weakness. It's fine to be genuine, or who you really are, and that's not a flaw. It's not very smart, though, to highlight your imperfections for everyone to criticize and analyze, especially when it's human nature to be so critical of these things within ourselves. It doesn't matter how many of your imperfections you fix, you'll never be perfect. It's not to say that you may not need to neutralize some of your flaws, but the best way to minimize your weaknesses is to focus on improving your strengths. People will overlook your flaws if you show them what you are capable of doing right. Don't try to be perfect, just try to be your best!
