Q&A: “Argue for Your Weaknesses and They Are Surely Yours” Do You Agree?

Question by skyline108: “Argue for your weaknesses and they are surely yours” Do you agree?
Argument for viewing yourself in negative way:
Some people say that How can you change your weaknesses if you do not admit that you have them.
Isn’t there a rehab program where drug addicts introduces himself “My name is – and I am a drug addict”? It makes sense to admit your weakness so you can get rid of them.

Argument for not viewing yourself in negative way:
In 1776, Franz Mesmer unveils a device called a [baquette?] at the court of Louis the XVI of France. It is an oak barrel filled with iron filings that gives off an almost imperceptible magnetic charge. Mesmer tells the assembled guests that the charge is very powerful and that if they touch it they will have pleasant convulsions. And in fact, when members of the court touch the baquette, they collapse in convulsive fits and faint. What Mezmer has discovered is the power of suggestion

So when we suggest to ourselves that we have negative characteristics we start to act accordingly

Answer by Gayle C
The answer lies in self acceptance. We are all a mass of strengths and weaknessess; that is the imperfect humaness of us all. To look at yourself realistically, seeing your imperfections and accepting them is a good thing as long as you do not kick yourself for having them. No one is perfect. See yourself, but put most of your focus on the good parts, the strengths, still admitting where you are weak. We cannot change anything until we own it, so own your weaknesses and then you can change them if they truly bother YOU!
