We can do that for ourselves.

Where did we get the idea that EVERY-SINGLE-THING in our lives has to be perfect in order to be happy? Who are we kidding? Talk about setting ourselves up for failure!

Who do you know that has a perfect life? In every aspect? No one. NO. ONE. Because this world isn’t perfect. Humans are fallible and we affect one another with our actions. “No man is an island.” So- there you go...imperfection. In some form. In some area. Every day.

So what?

Yep. I said it.

SO - WHAT?

I’m not diminishing anyone’s pain or disappointment...of course not. Acknowledgement and sadness are vital for balance. But if we are sitting around waiting for all things in our lives to align at the same time, we’ll be waiting forever. Then our time here is wasted.

🌈Real talk- let’s not wait. Let’s give ourselves permission to be happy. Right now. Because the things that bring us joy are enough. We are enough.

Question: Would you look at a child and tell them, “you’re wonderful, but you’re not enough to make me happy?” No! That’s horrible, right? Then why do that do ourselves? That’s essentially what we’re doing when we look at ourselves in the mirror and decide we can’t be happy unless we have everything. We don’t need everything. We need love and acceptance...and we can do that for ourselves. We deserve it. And you know what? As soon as we start loving and accepting ourselves, we are more likely to do the same for others and BAM- it’s a Love Fest.

❤️Love yourself. Right now. Don’t wait.

“Have no fear of perfection- you’ll never reach it.” - Salvador Dali
