If
you try to avoid or remove the awkward quality, it will pursue you. The
only effective way to still its unease is to transfigure it, to let it
become something creative and positive that contributes to who you are.
Nietzche said that one of the best days in his life was the day when he
re-baptized all his negative qualities as his best qualities. Rather
than banishing what is at first glimpse unwelcome, you bring it home to
unity with your life.....One of your sacred duties is to exercise
kindness toward them. In a sense, you are called to be a loving parent
to your delinquent qualities. ♥
