Perfection is a Lie, Embrace Being Yourself

Perfection is a lie and a myth! It is in no way attainable! Forget what social media tells you; you will never be perfect. Quite the contrary, actually: you are perfectly imperfect! That is something that we all are. The fact that none of us are perfect is something that is so incredible and unique. It enables us to figure out how to compromise with the differences that we have amongst ourselves, and through that, we learn to understand each other more.

Imperfection is a natural state of being. Look at nature. Vines grow with the strength they sap from the trees, fungi eat the dead, and the entire animal kingdom is entirely unfair. Everything has its own place and time to shine, including you! Even when it feels like you're being suffocated, or eaten alive, or being hunted down for being yourself; you will have your time.

The reality that nothing in life is perfect, is, in fact, perfection itself. Perfectly imperfect! The best thing that you can do for yourself, is to simply be yourself. Let go of the lies that society has told you. You don't need to be like anyone else, and you shouldn't. Being yourself is the most perfect thing that you can ever do, and you should always choose to do it. Never act like someone you are not in order to please society.

When you're holding onto perfectionism, it's easy to become upset or angry at yourself when you do something wrong or out of the norm. Learn from it and let it go. You don't have to be a perfect version of yourself all of the time, you only have to be yourself. Be at peace with being good enough, because you are, you have been, and you always will be.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow.
