My weak nature..

Sounds funny isn't it? My weak nature sounds like a self indulgent post that is going to be written here! In actual fact, there is some truth but I want to encourage myself instead. Somehow I felt I want an overhaul of what I m doing now. I want to be in charge and be comfortable with myself but there seems to be things preventing me from moving forward! Something is holding me back and that is my weakness or negative life is coming forward! How can I defeat it and win over my weak self? In buddhism, it will probably be using my weak self as a force to propel myself forward! It should help me to improve, to greet what is unknown and to take on the environment! I guess we have to be aware and to win over our weak nature!

Thus in desperation, I had to seek some guidance and here is what is taken from the Words of Wisdom by Daisaky Ikeda "As long as we are human, we are destined to make mistakes. We all fall prey to flawed beliefs and views. What separates a forward-looking person from an intransigent one, a virtuous person from a malevolent one, however, is whether one can candidly admit to ones mistakes and take bold steps to redress them."

Yes, I need the courage to confront myself and to admit my mistakes! Ultimately there is no shame in not knowing, there is only shame if we pretend to know everything! Thus, step forward Foong, and be not afraid to make mistakes. When mistakes are made, be ready to apologise, redress and continue to move onwards! Yeah!
