There are millions of voices out there and the only way to ensure that your voice is heard is to speak as only you can speak and act as only you can act. What I discovered was that the world really has no interest in inauthentic personalities. When I finally accepted my realness and my self-described imperfections, I finally found the peace and acceptance I had always longed for.
Most of the time—one of my imperfections is a lack of confidence. So, I think that all these things that we have for have so long thought of as our imperfections are just things about us. The things we think of as flaws and imperfections are simply our qualities. Is is okay to be imperfect? Yes, because there is no other way to be. No tribe exists where everyone is exactly the same. That would literally be hell on earth. We need all the unique qualities that people bring—even the ones that can be annoying and irritating.
Those things make us grow too. At some level, we do get that. Feeling good about our so-called flaws is a whole different thing. How do you go from feeling imperfect to not only owning your imperfections but to letting them be a public part of who you are? Here are six ways to help you embrace yourself and embrace your so-called flaws. To do this, you have to change how you think and look at your imperfections differently from now on.
You will eventually realize that your imperfections actually make you perfect. They are what make you, you. They are what make you memorable and stand out from the crowd! Since no one truly is perfect, you have to get over it. Perfection is just something our minds make up to make us unhappy with ourselves as we are.
Way too often we use the excuse of our imperfection to keep ourselves feeling safe. If we use our weight or something about our looks to keep us from participating in things, we are holding ourselves back just because of an idea that we have a flaw. However, at times, I just have to choose to be happy over being perfect. I love that feeling of being in control. It is possible to be happy at any age, weight, or situation.
There are people who have managed to find happiness even in the face of horrible life events. I was always waiting to do things until I lost enough weight, got in better shape, had better clothes, felt more confident, or had more money. While waiting for perfection in those areas, I missed out on so many opportunities! Now I just do things. I go with the body I have, the clothes I have, and the money I have. By trying things with all my imperfections in tow, I am still having amazing experiences.
When you realize and accept that others out there might be going through the same thing as you — it motivates you to keep going and ensures you that you can make it. Our most memorable moments occur when we are trying to overcome our obstacles and succeed.
Perfection means having nothing to strive for. Leaving the idea of perfection behind and accepting that imperfect is perfect raises our confidence.
The idea of perfection causes reinforced standards that we cannot live up too and this can be very discouraging. Perfection is not. Have you ever spent time searching for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Nobody is perfect and it is time to let that idea go and accept the real you, flaws and all. We are able to set goals that lead us to satisfaction upon completion.
Having something to push for gives us a reason to live, a reason to continue getting out of bed every morning. To me, that is the true essence of beauty. We can only fly with two wings and two wings can only stay in the air if there is a balance.
Two beautiful wings is perfection. There is a generation of people who idealize perfection as the existence of only one of these wings every time. But I see that a bird with one wing is imperfect. An angel with one wing is imperfect. A butterfly with one wing is dead. So this generation of people strive to always cut off the other wing in the hopes of embodying their ideal of perfection, and in doing so, have created a crippled race.
JoyBell C. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on the same journey, but each takes a different path. Along this gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other, some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey.
I find parallels in nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we become altered At every given moment we are absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey.
Think of what understanding this great orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the snowflake.
