How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them! - Benjamin Franklin

Taking a hard look at ourselves and accepting our faults is one of the hardest things we can do as human beings.  It's also one of the most beneficial in growing into the person you would like to be.  Let's face it we all think we are great on some level even though we are riddled with human flaws.

I believe that identifying the thought and behavior patterns that created these negative habits and then taking daily steps to amend them can be one of the greatest joys and accomplishments one can pursue.  Remember progress not perfection is the goal.
