Time to grow again
Have you ever realize at one point of time that you have begin to know yourself, just to get into another dilemma where you need to decide whether any part of your character is killing or helping you? What if the characters that are killing you are those that help you in the first place? I am currently right smack in the middle of such a dilemma now. And if you think that James is losing himself and feeling perturb, that’s where you are wrong =). In retrospective, I am so glad that I am in such a dilemma! Allow me to continue…
The 4 states of competency,
Unconscious Incompetence
Conscious Incompetence
Conscious Competence
Unconscious Competence
Everyone is stuck in one of these 4 competencies in any specific skill set or character issues. The 1st phase is unconscious incompetence where you don’t know what you are incompetent in. 2nd phase is conscious incompetence where you know what you are lacking. 3rd phase is taking a proactive consciousness to constantly remind yourself to correct your incompetence and requires conscious maintenance to eliminate the flaws. The last phase would be acquiring the competency as a habit without knowing that you are doing it naturally.
A lot of people can’t even transcend the 1st phase as they will turn a blind eye towards their incompetence and some didn’t even realize that they are incompetent. In terms of character, I believe I am entering my second stage as my dilemma comes from the fact that I know what I am lacking, and requires serious thought to reinforce my strength and correct my weakness. Compared to many others, I am lucky that I know what I am lacking and this is actually already a great step towards eliminating my flaws as I have at least know what they are now.
However knowing without doing is as good as not knowing. The crucial subsequent step is for me to take measure to habitually correct my flaws. It is the beginning of another journey to grow and it is not going to be easy as I understand that this is going to be one of my biggest hurdles in curbing my flaw in character. However what can daunt me if I have been constantly showered with challenges which I have confronted with perseverance. Come what may as weaknesses are meant to be faced and defeated.
Hence to me, being in a dilemma is good as at least I am in another learning curve in life where I get to see my weakness which is already a fortunate thing. Let the determination and will power that I have horned over these years be my strength to face and neutralize this weakness of mine and I shall be a better person. In life, both in business and love, we should not escape reality and brutal facts, facing them is the way to grow and escaping only bring recurring pain. I guess what this calls for is going to be another blading session this weekend as I need to make appointment with myself again to discuss how I am going to grow to the next level and summarize my life since the last appointment I had with myself =D
