My Faults

It kinda sucks to know what your faults are and to continue to do them.  It has been pointed out to me more times lately by myself what these faults are and I seriously want to take care of them.

First steps - admitting my faults.  Since I was a child I has always been fast to do anything, its not like I think I am in a race or anything; it's just that I catch on to what is asked of me and I just do it.  This brings up another fault of mine.  Because I am fast in getting things done, I also miss out on the important details.  It's like that assignment that we all got in 3rd grade where the first sentence says to write a paragraph about your first pet and then the second sentence says instead of writing a paragraph make bullet points and draw a picture.  What I would do is read the first sentence, write the paragraph about my first pet, be the first to turn it in; but receive an "F".  My last fault (ha - not really I have many more, but these are the 3 that are "raising their ugly heads")  I tend to be sensitive and can take things personally in business.  This is not to say that I cannot handle constructive criticism, because I can.  What I tend to do is take ownership in everything that I do and when something doesn't pan out that I have worked on, I get my feelings hurt.  There is more that goes into this fault, but it is hard to describe exactly what I take personally and what makes me sensitive.  I am such a complicated person.  (ha-ha) aren't we all ~!

So.........since I so badly want to work on these faults, today I have the opportunity to begin to correct them.  The third one will be a little harder to correct b/c it is more of a "deep rooted" fault.  On to the next "assignment", I am going to slow down, read, ask questions, make notes/lists and hopefully try each day to continue to correct them.  My main challenge will be on "D-Day" when no matter what happens, something always goes wrong.  I am under the pressure of a deadline and I start to make stupid mistakes.  I think i just need to be aware of the "D-Day" crazy's and make sure to especially take my time and cover all of the bases to not miss anything or make mistakes.  OH~!  There is another one of my faults, I expect perfection from myself and when I make mistakes, especially careless ones I put on the "punching gloves" and get in the ring.

So - HAPPY FRIDAY, have a great weekend.  Wish me luck on striking out a few "faults" of mine :)
