Why we carry our "Strengths' like a cross!

Only one idea explored in 150 words or less. Now that’s already 14 words!

We are the heroes and heroines in our own life, with a character defined by us. Its tough to get out of the mental script, even when a “Hamartia” is playing havoc in our life.

Hamartia or “fatal flaw” of Shakespeare’s tragic heroes – like Hamlet’s Procrastination or Macbeth’s Ambition.

When things are going terribly wrong all around us we blame others or we blame the situation. Very few blame themselves..hmmm.. or is it “ourselves”?! See.. that’s exactly what I meant.

So the “Nice” ones get nicer and nicer to become “soft”. “Disciplined” ones become “rigid”. “Ideas” people become “Dreamers”. “Efficient” ones become “Control Freaks”. If only there is an alarm which rings when we cross the thin line.

So we say “ I am like this.. so what?”, and opt to suffer rather than change.
