So I realized I'm getting less tolerant of people that are of the G.I. Joe mindset. You know how the jingle goes. "Knowing is half the battle! G.I. JOE!" I used to be the same way. I felt very mature because I could identify a problem/character flaw within myself but then what? If you've identified a problem and say, "yes, I know that's a problem" the first time, then yes, good for you. But then when it just becomes a habit to use it as a rationalization or an excuse, it ceases to be a positive thing. Identifying a personal problem and then say you're working on in when in reality you're not does nothing for me and I'm not going to give you a cookie for it. The rest of the battle and the war is working on it, or accepting it, own it, be it, and don't excuse yourself for it. Again, probably easier said than done.
