I haven't read this thread but when i saw the title a thought came to mind.
Sometimes our greatest assets are our greatest faults as well.
I am a caretaker. I'm good at it. I'm a nurse, a mom, a friend and i try to "make it all better" for anyone around me. That is an asset.
It is also a fault. I get too involved, i worry too much and i can overstep boundaries if someone is in need if i'm not careful. I also can be taken advantage of quite frequently.
I am a very optimistic person. I see the good. I feel the good. I live for the good of people. On the flip side, as a fault, i tend to poke my head in the sand and don't see the obvious. Keep hope when things should be let go of.
To me, life is about balance. Good and bad in all of us. If we see the glass 1/2 full, it's great and something most of us try to do. But without the other part being 1/2 empty....
it would just be a glass of water.
How boring is that.
