Does It have Merit?

I wasn't clear as I should have been on the last post concerning willpower. We all deal with our wills to different degrees and everyone has certain weaknesses and strengths. Recognizing these areas is a place to begin when things seem to go wrong or a person is stressed out. Sometimes people will blame outside circumstances on all their problems and never deal with the inner self. Although environment is a factor and knowledge is a factor, we do have to shore up things in our own selves at times. A person who has trouble with his will is in a better position than a complacent person because the complacent person either is unaware or doesn't care. When we see weaknesses, and care to work it out the best we can, we can deal with them even if it is incremental. There is no shame in weakness since care is there. The opposite of a strong will is complacency since it is absent of care and carelessness isn't worthy of merit.
Recognizing strengths is also a good practice to get into. The things we desire might change over time but we shouldn't neglect our strengths while focusing on weaknesses. I like to write, to organize and encourage but can be accused of talking too much and being too fussy. People like to point out our weaknesses to make themselves look stronger. Some of us have such  high standards and are hard on ourselves. It is good to recognize weakness but we shouldn't deal with them at the expense of our strengths. So in my example, I try to listen more, relax and let things be. But I still encourage when I can and organize what is proper. Right now I have a deadline on my writing time so I can head to work. Being prompt is a strength but stopping when I should is a weakness. It can be stressful at times but now my time is up..
