strengths and weaknesses

sometimes your strengths are often your greatest weaknesses. My strengths....I'm a problem-solver, I'm calm when everyone else is losing the plot...I'm a peacemaker, I make things happen and I don't give up easily, I'm loyal and I will tell you the truth rather than tell everyone else.

So what are my greatest weaknesses which come from these strengths....I don't know when to give up and I jump in and fix things that people really don't want fixing....I get into trouble and end up being the bad guy because to pursue peace means confronting issues that some people would prefer burying or not dealing with at all. I'm not diplomatic and sometimes people need this more than they need the truth.

So sometimes I don't let things go and move on. That's why ACCEPT is such a word for me. Because I always want to do better, or keep working on a problem until it's solved. But some people value calm and stability above finding the answer.

A perfect example would be how myles and I miscommunicate sometimes. I am about the PROBLEM and getting rid of it. Myles is about the process. How we do this matters to him cos he can't cope with conflict. But when communication is calm he talks. But the problem still doesn't get solved...but hey at least he felt good. To him keeping the peace is much more important than pursuing peace which to me is real resolution.
