Evening my steemit friends and family! Just to motivate you again tonight, and open your eyes of understanding to some things in our lifes, that are destructive.
I call it The Bad Eggs!
No matter how pleasantly looked your eggs might be, if you have one bad egg amongst the rest, it's going to be so disastrous to ignorantly bust the whole eggs together without proper inspection.
Even in a situation whereby you wanna make an egg stew with it.

Sometimes it gets too late to get rid of the bad egg among many, if you have already busted all the eggs together at once in a plate, cos it can cause the whole stew pot to smell, that the whole stew will be useless, and too bad to be taken by any.
When you read bios or the news of late, you'll notice that there are people who lived such great lives... excelled in their fields/talents and got everything going on. And then one bad trait/lifestyle/activity brings everything tumbling down. I'll give you 3 examples.

Whitney Houston. Amazing voice!!! And I guess she was a great woman too. She is the only woman to have had 7 consecutive number one Billboard Hot 100 songs.
The bad egg was the drugs, something she couldn't deal with... in time. It destroyed a lot in her life and ultimately led to her death. One bad egg

Bill Cosby. I loved his show!!! It represented to me the black culture that was positive and inspirational. The multiple sexual harassment scandals brought everything tumbling down. Now he has been classified as a sexual predator. Shows were cancelled, honorary degrees were taken. Over 50 of his honorary degrees have been rescinded. One bad egg.
Lastly, Justine Sacco. She was senior director of corporate communications at IAC. Sacco was fired after she sent an inappropriate tweet right before boarding a flight to South Africa.
“Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”
Perhaps she's made those "jokes" before or similarly said such stuff all over. Perhaps she spilled subtle racism in her talks here and there. Never dealt with such a horrible mindset and now was going open. It cost her a deserved social media uproar, loss of reputation, global embarrassment... and her job.
And hey, we all have those. The bad eggs I mean. Those parts of our lives we categorize under "my weakness" and leave unattended. The little foxes we ignore and refuse to address. The unattended anger, excessive alcoholism, excessive laziness, chronic lying, disloyalty, uncontrolled lust, carelessness, abusive tendencies, hypocrisy, pretentiousness, backbiting, stealing, envy, covetousness, nepotism,... you know what you battle.
My aunt's story was to advise me to always break eggs separately before adding them to my sauce. To beat them up in a separate bowl so that at least if one is bad, only your eggs are ruined, and not your whole dish.
Fight your demons now. Tackle your "weaknesses" before you thirst for the limelight. Don't shelve them and assume they don't exist. Dedicate time to combating them before they are "added" to all you have strived to achieve in life. Fight them before they bring harm to people around you and cause inexonerable pain
"The excuses won't cut it once the bad egg gets into the stew.
