Acceptance

In a previous blog post I mentioned this quote by Bert Hellinger “Human beings can only love things that are imperfect because perfect has never been real and real has never been perfect” I wanted to touch this again but talk more about accepting yourself. You are imperfect and that’s ok. As Dr. Hellinger stated perfect has never been real so saving your love for yourself for when you are perfect its unproductive and harmful because perfect isn’t real. Humans aren’t perfect. Don’t strive for perfection in yourself strive for growth and acceptance.

If when you think of yourself and you list things like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and/or chronic illness you see this is negatives or things that need to be hidden, you are not allowing yourself to shine in your truest most authentic self. These things feel negatives and burdensome and deserve to be hidden. However, if you don’t eat what’s on your plate you’ll starve. That is so much easier said than done. Allow yourself some grace in knowing its ok to not be perfect. Accept yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, the imperfect. You are perfectly imperfect.

Sending you all the love and acceptance,

Mickey
