The Theory of the fatal flaw is based on the belief that it is one fatal flaw holding us back from realizing our hopes.
It is the greatest adversity we may ever have to fight but once we decoded the problem, the solution feels natural and empowering. A fatal flaw, if not overcome, leads to frustration and possibly bitterness over lost opportunities. Your conflicts at work, home or health have a theme and pattern that can help you exploit the one element that holds you back the most. For some people it is the great lack of self discipline, for others it the inability of making yourself a priority or it might be even something else. When we try to pursue a career, this fatal flaw becomes more evident. If self discipline is your problem, you fail to realize a career because other people perceive you as slacker. If follow through is your problem, you get excited about ideas but fail to ever complete a project. If pleasing others is your problem, you wont be as successful since you are unable to make yourself priority enough to grow and become more. It could even be pride or fear of being vulnerable holding you back, keeping you from relating to those around you at work.
Unless we realize what the adversity is that’s been a common theme to our life, we will struggle with frustration and disappointment of failure.
It might be painful at first to look at yourself for the root of all frustration, but it is also liberating because it gives you the control to turn around your struggle. You are where you are because of the choices you made in the past. No matter if you pursue a career, wish to enhance your relationship, build a business or create a healthier lifestyle - discovering the fatal flaw that has held you back is crucial to making big changes. Overcoming the worst part of you is the one journey that leads to the most insight, maturity and appreciation. The way you see yourself, your self-esteem and the opportunities you create depend on you making this discovery.
Here are some questions to ask yourself if you want to know what’s holding you back:
What would be the one skill that would make the biggest overall improvement to my life? What does this say about my fatal flaw?
If I look at the turning points or struggles in my life, what have I done to contribute to the frustration?
What would be one thing, that if I changed it about myself, would create more success?
Other ways to discover your fatal flaw: journaling, asking close and people who respect you or taking some time and thinking back to your latest great frustration - what about your actions contributed to the failure?
