“The Perfection of Imperfection” By Sheila Thornton Warfield
With so many stimuli, it’s no wonder we are a population that’s always striving and pursuing lives envisioned by others. If only we could wear blinders and embrace who we are, as is. Imagine the peace from that! I’m not saying we should be complacent. I’m simply suggesting that we should accept and love the person we are now, imperfections and all. Imagine living your life with a knowing that you are enough. Sure, there will always be others who have more money, bigger houses, more possessions or those who might fit someone’s standard of beauty. However, each and everyday, we can choose to Love who we are, as is, right now.
This could mean that we limit or even eliminate our time around those who attempt to diminish us. Or, those who simply bring out the worse in us as opposed to the best in us. Be courageous and love yourself enough to create and live the life you want to live. Wear blinders and accept you, for You! When it comes to others, let them be who they are and accept where they might be on their own journeys, wherever that might be. It will help you embrace what I call the “Perfection of Imperfection”. Imagine the freedom from this!
