Head in the Sand

For years, I buried my head in the sand.  I was too weak to take constructive criticism and to learn from my mistakes.  I was embarrassed and disappointed that I let something bad happen.  I never realized mistakes are a part of life and we just have to deal with it the best we can.  Sadly, many opportunities were missed and many mistakes were repeated.  This unproductive cycle repeated itself.  Now I have the courage to face my fears and shortcomings.  Embrace the challenge of improving yourself.  What could be more fulfilling in life?
