With Acceptance comes Change.

I have come to realize in life there's no shame in admitting your weakness, accepting your wrongs, mistakes and flaws,  admitting how you messed up.

People spend too many years running away from who they are, what they did, how they erred. They try desperately to hold on to an illusion of how perfect they are. So whenever they have to talk about somethings that went wrong in their life, their relationships, friendships, family they are always in the right and the whole world is wrong. They are never wrong. It doesn't matter that they were too selfish, too impatient, too childish, too unforgiving, too stubborn, too hottempered, too inconsiderate . No.. They are just perfect and the universe has hatched an evil plan to bring them down .

They are always quick to give a long list of people who planned to bring them down but failed. The word "enemy" comes to their tongue so easily and anyone who tries to be honest with them is against them.
Truth is Life doesn't work that way.. You deny these things for too long and you wake up one day and realize that your life have been going in circles, no growth, no change. Accepting your mistakes and flaws is not been weak, it's been strong cause with acceptance comes change.
