So many of us go around in life covering up who we are, trying to be someone else, or just ignoring our own beautiful nature. Sometimes, some of us unwittingly and unlovingly reject ourselves, unhappy with what we see in the mirror.
Have you ever felt this way?
But the path forward is unavailable to our false identity. We can’t progress if we hate the very thing we are progressing. We must become authentic again. We must fall in love with who we truly are. Forgive our own selves. Accept and acknowledge some flaws and weaknesses. Take responsibility for that person staring back at us in the mirror, and we must truly say, “I love you, man! I don’t care what you’ve done or what you lack. I love you despite all that.”
If we find PEACE with who we are, we can start on UPLIFTING ourselves to a higher plane. It is through the combined effort of you and that flawed person in the mirror that you will work out your life and you will, bit-by-bit, begin to piece together a greater life for you both.
…
SO WHAT TO DO?
Love. And start with yourself. “Love” is a verb – not some unconscious thing that may happen to you if you are lucky. You do it.
So, in a forgiving way, look in the mirror (or the camera on your phone) and finally speak the words you have been dying to hear, “I accept you for who you are. I love you unconditionally.”
Step into your skin. Begin to live life as yourself. Be who you are, and be happy with you (even if you have flaws, weaknesses, and shortcomings). We can work with flaws, but we can’t work with rejection. You can’t move forward if you are rejecting and trying to escape you.
Once you are authentically being who you are, you can begin to work on who you want to become. Take one moment at a time, and savor each moment you take.
