Flaws and All

Realizing ones faults is one surefire way to grow and move forward.

1. I too often give people credit they don't deserve. I have to realize that just like a job, people are essentially interviewing to be in your life. And just like a job, you have to work 90 days before receiving benefits, people entering my life should be no different. Instead of starting someone at a 10 and letting them work their way down (which leaves much opportunity for disappointment) I should start with a blank slate.
2. I over analyze shit too much! The littlest thing will lead me into a 30 minute reflection on what it really means. And sometimes I just need to take shit at face value. It is what it is.
3. I need to learn balance. It's always all or nothing with me. There is no mid ground.
4. I need to learn to let down my wall...not all the way, but right now, I can't even see the top of the wall it's so high.
5. I need to realize in relationships, it's not ALL about my partner. It's 50/50, and they have to meet me half way, not 20% of the way.
6. Stop procrastinating! There's shit I want to achieve but I keep putting it off. I have to realize there's only so much putting off one can do before it just doesn't get accomplished.
7. Stop giving my all to people who don't deserve it.
8. Patience! Need to learn how to have it.
9. Bitch mode: if you screw me over...you're dead to me. Even if you just screwed me out of $5.00, if I'm in bitch mode, I'm washing my hands of you.
   
10. I'm not superwoman...I can't do it all. Prioritize and balance.
11. Taking too much shit. I let stuff build and build until the shit is about to snowball and crush a small village. I need to learn how to address shit head on when it bothers me instead of bringing it up a month later.
12. Realize common sense TRULY isn't common at all...and most of the people around me don't have it.
