Admissions
Painful admissions are hard to make. However, to be able to move from
where you are to where you want to go, you must always expect to have to
make painful admissions. Progress and achievement in life are dependent
upon our ability to make painful admissions, especially the painful
admissions that kill our ego. Many people fail in life because their ego
stands in the way of their success. Many people succeed in life because
they made admissions that freed them from the restraints of ignorance
imposed by their ego. We need to be able to make painful admissions in
life because we encounter so many obstacles. Dealing with obstacles in
life very often requires we admit what we cannot do, admit what we need
to overcome, admit our past mistakes and shortcomings, and admit our
inadequacies. Obviously, if we have a working ego, we do not want to
make painful admissions about what we cannot do. Our working ego stands
in the way of our progress by trying to keep us from admitting we have
needs in various areas. However, the beauty of making painful admissions
is that once the painful admission is made, we are then able to do
something about the thing admitted to. We must realize there is power in
making painful admissions and we must also realize there is
powerlessness and failure in not making these admissions. We are
rendered powerless and blind by our egos. However, we find great power
when we admit we need help or admit we have a shortcoming.
