We all have flaws. Yep, they're there. Annoying little uncertainties or anxieties that tell you that you're not good enough. They whisper that you're not perfect, and try to take over the confidence that makes you shine.
Sometimes, flaws are embedded in insecurity. They can be highlighted in the things that other people find unattractive or different. Imperfections grow in significance as people make a big deal about unique mannerisms, personality, and character. Negative responses to something so small snowball into considering new flaws in yourself that were not acknowledged before.
People point out flaws all the time -- in themselves and in others. People dwell on them, and use them to bring others down in an attempt to bring themselves up. "She does this... Did you see his face? Well, at least I don't do that..."
We are giving the wrong implication to flaws. Flaws should not be unfavorable and detrimental. They shouldn't be judged or seen as weakness. They are imperfections -- yes. But, they are what define us as individuals, as people of massive diversity in which everyone is different. No two people have the same combination of flaws. There's beauty in the imperfections and we have to learn how to find it.
There's a bigger picture to the part that flaws play. In my opinion, flaws are humbling. They mean you are not perfect and that you're trying.You're changing, different, and dynamic. Flaws are what distinguish you from everyone else. They provide you with the opportunity to assign weight to them. It's up to you whether you consider something a flaw or not. It's up to you whether a flaw becomes something that disheartens you or something that you find distinct and crucial to the person you are.
Flaws are needed. No one is flawless. Everyone has something that someone else doesn't have or does something that someone can't do. But flaws can give you something to work towards or something to embrace. Maybe there's something that you don't like about yourself and you want to change. Fantastic, fix it. Become better. Become what you want. Use your flaw in a positive way. Use it to strive towards something great. Use your flaw as a catalyst for growth and improvement so what you used to see as a flaw is nowhere near a fault.
Or you can embrace your flaws. Know that some people may not see them the way you do but hold onto them tightly for they make you the person you are. Flaws are what you make of them. You determine their significance.
Flaws are designated as adverse. But they aren't good or bad. It's not one or the other in a black or white situation. Every perception of a flaw is different. It's up to you to decide what the gravity of a flaw is. For all you know, your flaw could be someone else's perceived beauty, individuality or greatness.
