Admission of Fault

On my journey to a more successful life, one of the most important lessons I have learned is being able to admit when I’m wrong. The admission of fault, blame, wrong, is NOT a flaw of weakness but a sign of strength. For one to admit that they’re wrong about an issue proves that person has a great level of humility.

When you admit you’re wrong about something, it shows the level of character that you have and that you’re not above anyone else. If you’re not able to admit and "fess up," as we say, to yourself (which is what you’re doing when you admit you’re wrong), there’s much work that needs to be done in your character.

You will not always be right about every situation. We’re human and we WILL make mistakes. On your way to a more successful life, don’t let pride, arrogance, or conceit cause you to demean your own character by not accepting the fact that there are answers that existed in this world before you. Admission of fault is a character builder, not an avenue of defeat.
