Limitations engrained in your character can be used either as a personal prison or as a road to personal freedom.
The Ego's unconscious response to its personal weaknesses is to be ashamed of them, to feel guilty and to wish to hide them away from itself and the world. However, since they are fact they do not disappear by such behaviour but are remaining an unconscious, because they are being repressed, part of the self. And because there are power-obsessed individuals living in this world who need others to rule over and to employ in the realization of their egotistical schemes, in feeling unconsciously guilty you are becoming an unwilling victim to their domineering influence. In addition, this has the unwanted effect of deepening your already existing sense of guilt and your fear of consciously facing your personal weaknesses. Accordingly, you are feeling bound and unable to live freely.
Whereas if you are aware of your personal shortcomings and willing to deal with them consciously they are transformed into opportunities for personal growth and expansion. This simply requires your acceptance of their existence, the willingness to take personal responsibility for their current presence in your character and the sincere wish to work towards perfecting yourself.
