Strengths and Weaknesses

Strength and Weaknesses


One fine evening a few days ago in a dream of mine, my friend and I were strolling through the beautiful city of San Francisco talking about life and everyday enjoyments under the moonlit sky when we started to bring up the conversation of strengths and weaknesses of each other. Looking down at the shiny asphalt from the mixture of water and the lights of the city I began to ponder the question. After my response to her, this is what she said to me.

"Jon-o, your greatest strength is that you are a guy who can get along and connect with any type of person. You are apart of every group but a representative of none, it is like you have no true identity but a wonderer in this society, that I see is your greatest weakness."


There is some truth in that statement and there are some missing, it is hard to understand what seems real and what seems imaginary at points in our lives. I am always willing to improve myself, and if you see something I could work on, we are in this together. In my dreams there have been a couple of symbols that have been reoccuring and after I asked her what I said I should do, she told me, "It is time to move onto the next chapter of your life."
Looking at her smile fade away off into the foggy night, I came to realize that I was sitting in my bed starring at the ceiling and I said to myself, "I am ready."

Did this really happen? Did you really wake up like that? I think you have the strongest identity I know Jon-o!
