Can you accept that you are not perfect? Can you accept that you will make mistakes?
We all make mistakes. It’s inevitable. It’s necessary. It is just part of the human experience. Once you accept that, you may open yourself up to discover:
1. You have immediately given that mistake less power over your future actions.
2. You are capable of an abundance of self-compassion.
3. There is something that is far more important than the mistake— what we do afterwards.
When you forgive yourself for not being perfect, you will have more compassion for the mistakes of others as well. When you choose to focus on how to respond to mistakes, the connections you build through that repair will enrich your life. And we need a lot more of that in the world right now.
I love you.
