We all have weaknesses. We all struggle in some way. Some of those struggles are quiet. They’re easily hidden or they’re unknown to others. But other personal challenges show up on the surface. They’re visible and obvious. Impossible to hide.

There are two possible takeaways here.

One, have compassion … particularly when someone — by luck of the draw — carries a perceived weakness on the outside.

Two, remember that when you perceive someone’s outward perfection, it’s just a story you’re creating. Everyone struggles, and sometimes it’s invisible to the world.
