....self acceptance.
Why I was thinking about this on the way to work this morning, I don't know. It's true though. I have struggled with this concept for years, eventually turning 40 and finally coming to a sort of compromise with myself. I enjoyed turning 40 and really did not worry about what other people thought about me anymore. Self acceptance? Wow, what a concept! Despite this, I have days of outright unhappiness with myself, bordering on self loathing, and the reason is because I am not PERFECT. The fact that everything is not perfect in our lives holds us back. We think, well, if I was thinner, or prettier, or made more money, or had that perfect job, everything would be great. I might deserve love, or ?? You fill in your own blank.
No one is perfect. We deserve our happiness and to be loved despite our imperfections. I need to work on letting go and accepting all that comes to me, to know that I am worthy, just like everyone else is.
Have a great weekend my friends.
