Topic: Admissions

Painful admissions are hard to make. However, to be able to move from where you are to where you want to go, you must always expect to have to make painful admissions. Progress and achievement in life are dependent upon our ability to make painful admissions, especially the painful admissions killing our ego. Many people fail in life because their ego stands in the way of their success. Many people succeed in life because they made admissions giving them freedom from the restraints of ignorance imposed by their ego. We need to be able to make painful admissions in life because we encounter so many obstacles. Dealing with obstacles in life very often requires we admit what we cannot do, admit what we need to overcome, admit our past mistakes and shortcomings, and admit our inadequacies. Obviously, if we have a working ego, we do not want to make painful admissions about what we cannot do. Our working ego stands in the way of our progress by trying to keep us from admitting we have needs in various areas. However, the beauty of making painful admissions is once the painful admission is made, we are then able to do something about the thing to which we made admittance. We must realize there is power in making painful admissions. We must also realize there is powerlessness and failure in not making these admissions. We are rendered powerless and blind by our egos. However, we find great power when we admit we need help or admit we have a shortcoming.
