Realization

Sometimes it’s hard to come to a realization of yourself. For example, it stunk in junior high when I realized I wasn’t as fast as the other boys in my class. It was hard when I realized I looked a little goofy during my first two years of high school. It was difficult when I realized the mess my life was in during college. It’s hard to realize things about yourself.

Just this week I had another realization, and again it was hard. My realization this week was that I’m a selfish person. Some of you who know me might be thinking, “Dave, you’re not selfish.” But the truth is I am. I noticed this after looking at how I’ve been acting towards my wife over the past week. I’ve been acting like a little kid saying; “What about me? What about my feelings? What about the things I want?” Pretty childish stuff. So, here before all of blog world I declare that I’m selfish.

But, here is the positive side of me realizing things about myself. When I understand who I am better, I can work to change my weaknesses. I can work to be selfless. I can work to change my selfish attitude.
