Shortcomings are like cute Puppies

Shortcomings like cute Puppies

We should handle our shortcomings with a sense of humor and gentle kindness. And by doing so, we will learn how to handle other’s shortcomings kindly and humorously. If we are harsh to ourselves, we will likely be picky to others and easily being mean.

Having said that, being kind and gentle to ourselves does not mean that we are free to make mistakes and let loose. But at least we should be compassionate to ourselves when we see our shortcomings as if we see a cute little puppy. Our emotions are uplifted and love is generated when we see a cute puppy, and that’s the same sense of playfulness and kindness that we should imply when handling our shortcomings. It starts with forgiveness, love and a sense of humor, then we go on to rectify the problems.
