I have a thought for you today.
What if you believed you were PERFECT, JUST AS YOU ARE.
Not when you have lost the last 5 kilos.
Or finally cleared out the garage like you have been saying for 18 months.
Or finished that qualification you have been slogging away at.
Or made up with your sister who you haven’t spoken to for years.
Or baked all the cupcakes FROM SCRATCH for the school fete and run the tombolo.
BUT RIGHT NOW?
The weight of “who we should be” is a heavy thing to carry around each day.
Truth is, there is no “should be”.
We are all a permanent “Work In Progress”.
We will never be done, finished, complete
We are perfect imperfect works of progress at all times.
And we wish away so much of our “now” happiness carrying the weight of who we feel we “should be” or how our life “should be”.
Should is one of the heaviest words in the English language and I would like to ban it. It makes us feel unnecessarily bad about ourselves!
Who you are right now is just perfect, you can take that from me.
Put the weight down.
And have a very happy day.
