Admitting is the First Step to Improvement


I often try talking to people's heart and find shut-doors and tall-walls preventing me to enter. They portray a very opposite image trying to convince people how strong and well they are.

We all know everyone has their own ego. But what I don't know is whether due to our culture or we're actually borne with such a quality in valuing ego so high until DENIAL is the first respond although deep down inside our heart knows: We've got to admit it is true.

We hide our real feelings, often giving good reasons (excuses) for denying our resistance to accept them especially the negative ones such as fear and worry. Sometimes the conservative type even refuse to admit their love and care.

Why is that?

Because we're not taught to be expressive? Because we're not brave enough to face even ourselves? Because nodding to our feelings means showing others we are weak?

We're built and equipped with many different feelings and admitting their existence does not mean concluding who we are. So everyone is so used to a positive, strong, happy, healthy, optimistic, energetic image; then? So what?

Building a habit to be (become) positive is different from denying the true feelings inside.

We are not perfect and being able to acknowledge that allows us to accept our true self. Don't crash the real feelings for they are the key to become a better person.
