Part of what sucks about the changes I've undergone is that I'm too the point where I think I'm gonna leave some damage in my wake to take the next step in my personal evolution.
I don't like it.
When you're learning something new, mistakes are inevitable. I'm learning flair bartending, for example. I drop bottles all the time. They rarely break, I hardly ever spill when I do drop. Its the process of learning.
But one happens when something you are learning is people oriented?
But I'm selfish. I need this. I can't avoid messing something or someone up sometimes, despite my best efforts to conduct myself with grace and tact.
My belief now is that honesty will be more important for me now than ever, and the only way to hold fast to my integrity is to be upfront with people.

I saw a documentary once about people training up to be bodyguards. As part of the training, one person had to shoot a can of beans off another one's head. The guy with the gun said, "What happens if I miss?" and the trainer said, "Don't miss."
I can't remember what the next step was, specifically, but you probably are going to mess up. No offence intended-- you said it yourself. I'd be more worried if you went sailing into this without a thought for anyone else. Your concern for other people's well-being is what will keep you from messing up too often.
And what keeps you from becoming an asshole
