Stop Trying To Be Perfect And Embrace Your Imperfections.

We live in an era where there are many self-help books, self-improvement workshops, etc. Which is totally alright, but are we putting too much energy on eliminating our imperfections and not enough on our strengths?

We seem to have forgotten that no one on earth is perfect. Everybody has their fears and limitations, which is absolutely normal.

Yet, many people are trying to reach the goal of perfection, which eventually will rob them of their happiness, self-identity, self-esteem, and self-worth when they realize they can't reach perfection.

We have to remember that no one and nothing on earth is perfect. It's what makes us unique. Our strengths and qualities are what defines us and our limitations and flaws are what allows other people to relate to us.

I know that if we look on social media people seem to have it all figured out. They have a great job, beautiful home, awesome family and friends and oh wow they always look so amazing.

But the truth is that it’s an allusion, no one on this planet has figured life out, nor achieved perfection. In reality we are all struggling, trying to figure out what life expects of us.

The one thing that we all have in common, is we are doing our best with whatever life throws at us. Does that mean we shouldn't keep working on ourselves, in the hope of becoming a better person? Absolutely not.

In fact working on ourselves, our fears and limitations is a very good thing. It allows us to push our limits and develop better self-esteem and self-worth.

Let’s take our power back by embracing our imperfections and celebrating our strengths. Accept who we are, because right here, right now, there are no two people like you in this world and you are wonderful.

In accepting that we are not, and do not have to be, perfect we are actually giving ourselves the freedom and permission to be our true authentic self.
