So easy to say, but not to believe or to live.

Of course, the smarty-pants among us will argue that imperfect cannot be perfect, but it is all a matter of perspective. To whom exactly are our imperfections imperfect?

For those of us who believe in a higher power that is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient, it never makes mistakes. You are meant to be who you are. The challenge we thus face is one of acceptance and self-love. Can we love ourselves fully, flaws and all?

We also ought to acknowledge the experiences we have had that have all contributed to the person we are now. For example, the person who is doubtful, unsure, and may have had to learn some hard lessons borne out of experience. And as we go through the trials and tribulations of life, in the hope of becoming better versions of ourselves, we also ought to give ourselves grace.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• How much do I fixate on my flaws? Are they the first thing that come to mind if I were to describe myself?
• What are three flaws or imperfections that I wish I did not have?
• What might be the benefit or the lesson I might be able to learn in having each of these flaws?

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
