The Advantage of Being a Weak Person

The title is actually a big lie because being weak is never an advantage. Somehow, I would want to discuss on the matters of being weak because as human we all have the vulnerable part of our personality. The title was designed to catch your attention that whether you are a person with a strong character, I guess it appeals to you and how much more those who are easily discouraged and unmotivated. This is something that the “weaks” should ponder about.

To start with, you will only discover how strong you are as a person if you have learned to acknowledge the opposite side. You may very tough as you are perceived by everybody but one thing for sure is that there is a part of you that is soft. The subject “weak” in this discussion will center on an attitude of being easily discourage in times confronted with life’s chaos, unmotivated because of a very low self-esteem, those who are trapped in an inferiority complex mode and someone who do not believe in herself/himself that they can actually make a difference. Before this attitude swallows you, it would be better to start trying to overcome it so that it wouldn’t become something that controls you. An attitude that hinders you to achieve and be somebody you want to be.

To posses any of the above mentioned character is indeed negative and to summarize it’s effect; you’ll always end up a loser. You never get the chance to attain because you are always afraid to try. Take the risk sometimes or as what they say conquer your fears. It is not because you are weak; it is because you chose not to give yourself a try. If you prefer to stay within your comfort zone, you have missed the opportunity to prove to yourself that you can be beyond what you think you can do. You already have failed at the moment you did not try to take the test, and it wouldn’t be a good idea to always fail without even taking chances.

Do not internalize how weak you are. Do not listen to what it says. If you were used to a “much pampered” life, start going away with it. Do not be afraid to get hurt. This might be a cliché but it is true that “the more we get hurt, the more we discover how strong we are as a person”. If you always limit yourself to a peaceful and problem- free environment you don’t get to see how reality bites. Remember that even in fantasies, the fairy-tale characters also had their share of struggles before they “lived happily ever after”. Moreover, do not keep on admitting that you are weak, because it makes you weaker.

It’s not too late to acquire a strong personality. Somebody who is positive about the things in life. Sometimes being a weak person is a state of mind. It was yourself who actually have set your mind that you are inferior, you can not do something, and that you lack confidence. It was you who have trapped yourself inside a box and refuses to go out. It was your decision to limit yourself. Embrace new things and discover how beautiful life can be if you just know how to appreciate yourself being in the midst of challenges.

Now, think. Being weak will never be an advantage. It is something that pulls you down. Do not be imprisoned when you can be somebody who can stand still no matter how unkind life at times. Contrary to what the title have said, I would want end up saying, be strong this is right thing being weak can never make you a step ahead.
