It is totally unrealistic to believe that we can tout our strengths without having our weaknesses show up sometime in the heat of the struggle.
There is a healthiness to being positive about our gifts and talents. Yet without understanding the darker side of our character, we can mislead ourselves into thinking that matters are much better than they truly are.
It’s the difference between “scoring” and “scouring.”
G-Pop knows when to score; in other words, those moments when some self-promotion and blowing one’s own horn comes in handy so people recognize possibilities instead of being in the dark about his potential.
But likewise, there is the need to scour–to scrub the emotions, motivations, and buff up honesty in order to create a clean heart. Unfortunately, most friends, family and even strangers become somewhat miffed if G-Pop becomes too self-aware, or in their opinion, self-critical.
They ask him if he’s “going through a bad time.” They want to know if he’s been offended. They think his moments of scouring are useless, and could be better applied to more scoring:
- Of course, scoring himself high so people will know about his achievements
- Quietly scoring others a little lower to make his own efforts seem plumper
- And scoring the difficulty of life in such a way that the progress being achieved appears monumental
America is full of those who score and rarely scour. What is scouring?
- Scouring motivations to make sure they are clear, although they may never be pure.
- Scouring to make sure that G-Pop is not out to hurt anyone else–just to improve himself.
- And scouring the passion to realize that life is not difficult–just waiting for those who are open to finding creative ways to make it easier.
Today G-Pop recognizes that he needs some scouring. There are some trailing lies, misconceptions, fears and aggravations that cling to the corners of great plans, preventing them from gaining flight.
Without this scouring, scoring starts to be a memory of the past and a false projection of what might be.
