Most of us go around feeling like there's something wrong with us.
I've seen this over and over and myself first of all.
And then I realized it wasn't just me who felt this way.
That it's widespread in our culture,
The imposter syndrome,
All these things.
You know,
How about if you understand that you're fine just the way you are right now.
That you're fine,
That you don't need fixing,
That there may be difficulties in your life.
Or there may be some things about yourself that you don't like much.
But just understand you're okay.
Just write the way you are,
You're okay.
You're a work in progress.
You know,
If we really got that we're divine beings in human form,
I think that we would let go of a lot of this machine-like perfection ideas that we've got about how we should be.
And really what we're doing is we're loading ourselves up with so many expectations and demands.
That also when somebody comes close to us,
We put on to them as well.
That we're making our life intolerable.
So you know,
If you set the goal,
If you're not feeling very happy,
If you just set the goal for self-acceptance,
Just have that be your goal.
And what will happen is it will,
You know,
If you really keep at it,
Really sincere,
It will trigger your heart into awakening.
And it will be as if part of you puts out its arms to you,
As if a deep part of you just puts its arms out to you.
And you can move into self-acceptance.
You know,
Getting there can be a little bit uncomfortable,
A little bit up and down.
But you can ask that the process be as gentle as possible.
As easy and gentle as possible.
You know,
It can happen so simply.
Even you know,
If you're out on,
You know,
Out and about and somebody's kind to you,
That can help.
But the most powerful thing is to want to come into self-acceptance.
And if you really,
Really want this,
It will happen.
You know,
First of all,
The ego may fuss a bit and go,
Who you,
You're so bad,
You're so flawed,
You can't accept yourself and just witnesses.
And then as you move into more self-acceptance,
What will happen is the ego will fuss again,
Just witness it and it will let go.
It will get smaller.
You are entitled to forgive and accept yourself.
You're fine.
Sure,
You know,
There you'll have frailties or some flaws of your human.
But I'll tell you,
If you move into self-acceptance,
You will have fewer flaws and you will be more loving and accepting of others.
And I promise you will be happier.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
