imperfections

Always struggling with what makes something meaningful,
struggling with my own weaknesses and inability to find an elegant solution,
and how I can (or do not!) connect with a person in an authentic way,
I absolutely loved this statement that gets to the heart of the matter...

“Authenticity is about imperfection. And authenticity is a very human quality. To be authentic is to be at peace with your imperfections. The great leaders are not the strongest, they are the ones who are honest about their weaknesses. The great leaders are not the smartest; they are the ones who admit how much they don’t know. The great leaders can’t do everything; they are the ones who look to others to help them. Great leaders don’t see themselves as great; they see themselves as human.”
