We often fall into the addiction of society to produce images of our "perfect" self. We believe that creates approval and beauty. However, to be beautiful means to fully and unconditionally accept ourselves with our human imperfections and without hoping for the approval of others.

To be beautiful means to be yourself.

You do not need to be accepted by others.

You need to accept yourself.

Quote by Thich Nhat Hanh.

As the new year begins many people make resolutions about how they want to change and improve themselves.

And when they fall short after a few weeks,

They then blame themselves and feel bad.

What if our new year's resolution was to accept ourselves completely,

Compassionately,

And with all our imperfections.

When we decide to fully embrace who we are,

We live counter-cultural and escape the addiction of our time to impress others with creating images of success that hide our human and true selves.

Beauty means being our true and human selves.

Let's make 2024 a year of freedom to be.
