Forget the value judgements

If nothing else, I can always serve as a bad example.

Admitting your weaknesses
is a powerful way to begin improvement.

For the sake of positive change,
take "bad", "wrong" and "shame" out of it.
These weaknesses are the challenges in one's life.
Facing, and understanding, them leads to growth.

Today at work, two of us had to explain anew
that telepathy (still) doesn't work (for us) -
that we assumed rather than asking, or telling -
that we caused a lot of extra work for ourselves.

It's common for people to get down on themselves
about things they want to change, about screwing up.
As if self-hate would really work.

We learn our lessons, and we keep moving.

I don't know what I don't know.
