This is the realization of the strengths and weaknesses developed over time. Now, this isn’t the mystical formation of these, rather what has been forged as a natural talent or a what has allowed one to float evenly with other folks showing themselves off. Whether that is showcasing their bonds, their competitiveness, or how they face their own conflicts all relate back to these principles.

Regardless, this is showcasing the vast differences between the knowledge gained and how that reacts to others as well as yourself. There is someone always who is above in skills or has a certain trait to them you cannot quite emulate how you want. This is surely where the competitive nature comes in. Because you want to evolve and achieve something better that reflects you in a way you didn’t expect. This coincides with more emotional strength as well. For there can be times where you have a certain set of expectations on how to go through life, but it is rather bleak. However, there is someone else who can jump-start you in a way which you didn’t expect to ever happen. Because it was outside the expectations of what you are used to or the environment that you are around as well. And well, how else would you realize those weaknesses at the same time?

Weaknesses in this case means something you don’t have a natural affinity towards or you have to work much harder to make it more of an average than what it was before. For example, cooking can be a weakness for many since it is a learned skill and when you do decide to learn more about this skill-set. Is the interest in basics or is it more in a certain type of cooking or tradition? Then there a breakdown from each of those which one has to learn in order to make a certain recipe or dish: how to handle a knife, clean the ingredients, measuring, timing, flavor enhancers, etc. Sometimes people can naturally intuit what to do in each of those steps along the way, but there can be other parts of cooking which is more challenging. And that is where those weaknesses can be rounded out to make a more refined skill-set. It doesn’t make one more inferior by not being able to do certain tasks as easily. This mostly is the fact that no one can be exactly perfect in everything.

For that is why opposites exist. It is because of this we are able to see the strengths we do hold, as well as weaknesses we are forced to acknowledge more to grow into something much more formidable than ever. This is realizing the inner light we want to express and show to others, whether that is to display those skills or to highlight someone else’s skills that need to be worked on. You are more stable than you realize and having the ability to change for a more defined self as we meet those challenges or strengthen prior skill-sets.
