Something I am seeing right now... Sometimes, we get so caught up in our self-perceived flaws, issues, shadow, imperfections that we lose sight of just how beautiful we are, as we are... Sometimes it can feel like the primary purpose of our life is to somehow heal and fix ourselves, and somehow make ourselves more perfect so that we will be worthy of being loved by others... But I think this is a delusion of the egoic mind. Im not going to say that we dont have to keep polishing away at our flaws, and applying more salve of self-love, but at a certain point it can become a distraction.. We can get too lost and mired in the self-improvement regimen. Because ultimately, to be healed or become whole is simply to accept ourselves as we are. Right now. In this moment, and every moment. To simply be with what is. Self-perceived shortcomings can keep us blind to the beauty that is already present within us, asking for us to step out of the way and be allowed to shine. And isnt that what self-love really is? To just accept ourselves... in this now... to quit shaming ourselves and placing guilt on ourselves, but to just be who we are, in gratitude for the blessings that we do have in our lives and allow ourselves to simply be.
