What If We Were “PERFECT”
February 26, 2010
I recently read a book by Geneen Roth, Feeding the Hungry Heart. She is amazing and every person should read her. She speaks to the human condition regardless of the condition a human is in. She dares to suggest that we might consider that we are ENOUGH just the way we are. That if we accept where we have been, what we have accomplished or not, the insecurities we carry, what we weight, the mistakes we’ve made; all contribute to exactly where we are supposed to be and who we are supposed to be. By accepting our very flawed selves as ADEQUATE, we could possibly eliminate the ever-present whispering voice of anxiety. The voice that requires so much attention trying to figure out how to create something different from what we really are. MISTAKES and IMPERFECTIONS are abundant. But there isn’t one that doesn’t offer the opportunity to move ahead. If we worried less about what should have been, or how we should be different, we might just find the brain cells to be more content with all the amazing things we truly are. Imagine replacing the voice that says you are inadequate with the voice that says I AM ENOUGH!
