What is wrong with the person in the mirror?

I, so far, have accepted that I am flawed.  ...in the past few hours that is.
This is a lot for me to grasp.  I hate admitting faults.  And saying I'm entirely flawed?  ....this is like....an atomic bomb. To my everything.

The path to joy winds through this dark valley.

True change, true life-giving, God honoring change would have to start with the individual.

So, starting with myself, what's the problem?
My answer --
Isn't a better question- What isn't the problem? I mean, I'm human, I've made a million mistakes, I'll make a million more. Probably two million....I'm selfish, short-tempered, unforgiving, full of doubt, full of fear, I have problems with trusting, I'm harsh, I have no patience.

The list goes on and on...I can't think of everything that is wrong.

What have I become?  -Everything I never wanted to be.

My second goal- and third- I think that one is going to be a "do your best, because that's all you can ask" goal...
2) Continue to accept my flaws, admit my wrongs.  It's the only way to recognize they exist and from there I can work to change. 
3)  Find out who I'm supposed to be, get there.  ----or really who I want to become from all of this.
Three is asking a whole lot.....but....it is what it is.  I need to set something.
