Your flaw may be a disordered gift

Mark as read

Sometimes you do not need to uproot a trait, but teach it to serve a greater good.

An enterprising person can become impatient; someone sensitive, touchy; whoever has firmness, stubborn. The flaw does not always spring from an absent ability. Sometimes it appears when a good quality takes up too much space or loses its direction. Looking at it this way does not justify the damage. It helps you work with more precision. It is not about extinguishing the energy, but joining it to listening; nor about losing sensitivity, but preventing every gesture from others from turning into a personal offence. Asking yourself what good has become disordered opens a more fruitful path than hating your character. God can count on that strength once it is educated. The area that creates conflict today may also hide a capacity that tomorrow serves others greatly.

Key idea

Some flaws are worked on by ordering a good quality, not eliminating the entire trait.

Your challenge for this idea

Choose a habitual flaw and ask yourself what positive capacity lies behind it and what limit it needs to serve better.
