Our great error is the belief that there is something wrong with ourselves.
Maybe we hold a belief that;
if only we had or hadn't done so and so,
if we had only tried harder, then everything would be better.
We may think that;
had we been more organized, quiet,
healthy, together,
or just given more, then they might have accepted us.
Perhaps there is a painful belief that;
had we been thinner, sexier, smarter, stronger, more feminine, masculine, or outgoing then they would have stayed.
Maybe you believe that nothing you do matters.
What if none of those beliefs are true?
What if the truth is that there is nothing wrong with you and there never has been?
How hard is that to believe?
How hard would it be to believe that;
all of the perceived failures, heartaches, joys, sadnesses, elations, frustrations, rejections, loves, and losses that have led you to this place,
this moment,
this person that you see in the mirror,
were all absolutely essential experiences needed to create a wonderfully unique and singular individual whose distinct perspectives, insights, and contributions can never be replaced?
How would it feel to believe that everyone that has ever judged, shamed, or rejected you, had no idea of who you are because they were too distracted by their own beliefs about themselves?
How would it feel to meet yourself with compassion and acceptance even when you know you've messed up?
What if you could look in the mirror and see yourself truly as a work in progress with no idea of what the outcome will be but full acceptance of what has created you this far?
What would your life be like if you radically accepted yourself and your way of being
just as you are
In this moment knowing that you are beautiful process constantly growing and learning your way?
What if you are exactly where and who you need to be right now?
