Openheartedness
We freely admit our weaknesses and mistakes.
I used to believe that the world was an ungenerous place and that the people in it were even less generous in their attitudes towards me.
I projected an image of competence and knowledge as armor, and I used dishonesty about my weaknesses as a wall to hide behind. I never gave the world a chance to view me with warmth, acceptance and compassion.
Yes, there are people in the world who judge others to escape seeing their own faults. I suspect nearly all humans do this. Yet I now recognize that most of the time people are much more loving and accepting than I previously believed.
Admitting my weaknesses and mistakes allows me toexperience being loved for who I truly am.
