If I let go and just wrote from the heart, I would tell you
that I’ve been afraid to come back here and write another post. What do I share?
How do I say it? Have I waited too long? Does what I think matter? Do I even matter?
All of these thoughts flood my mind, making it even harder to write this all
down. More and more I’m learning that successful living is not about being a
perfect human being at all times or never failing. Successful living is really
about allowing yourself to be who you are “warts and all.” Successful living is
about turning away from the thoughts that say “I am not enough” and “I don’t deserve
to be happy and loved.” Successful living is about saying yes to all those
things that make your heart sing regardless of if anyone else gets it or not.
Successful living is about touching the Divine in the midst of the human. I’m
learning more and more that the ideal of perfection is not my friend. It’s a
big heavy weight attached to my ankles weighing and slowing me down. Life is passing
me by while I wait for that elusive day when I am good enough to give love to
myself. Well that day is here. I am perfect with all of my imperfections now. I
can love myself now. And it only takes me reminding myself of that fact day by
day and minute by minute. That is all it really takes. Moment to moment
reminders until the habit of self-love is deeply ingrained into my everyday
existence. I wasn't sure before, but I now know that this journey is worth it,
I am worth it. I may not feel that way all the time, but feeling is not fact.
If I fall, I can bounce back. That is the grace of life. Each new moment is a
new moment to change the course of your life forever. This is where true
success lies. This is where real growth and learning is. Care to join me?
