Accept your imperfections

 

Accept your imperfections.
I am perfectly imperfect.

 

There is no such thing as perfection and yet so many people exhaust themselves and erode their confidence in the pursuit of it. When you accept your imperfections, you acknowledge that, like everyone else, you have many positive qualities but that you also have other, less positive ones … and that’s okay.

Once you have released yourself from the burden of perfectionism, you are free to use your positive qualities to their fullest. You can also decide which of your less-than-ideal qualities you would like to invest your energy in improving and which qualities everyone else will need to accept as ‘part of the parcel’.

Feeling Good

 

Feeling good about who you are and the life you live should not depend on a specific outcome, yet all too often I hear people put themselves down or beat themselves up because they haven’t done this or got that. I am sometimes guilty of that. Your confidence should not be dependent on the goals you have achieved, nor should it be dependent on the feedback you get from others, your dress size or the amount in your bank account. But if your self-confidence isn’t based on what you’ve got or what you’ve done, how do you build and maintain it?

The answer is simple. Make the commitment to treat yourself with the same kindness you show the most important people in your life.

Build and maintain your confidence and self-belief. When you commit to that, your life will no longer be burdened with anxiety, doubt or insecurity and instead you will feel good about who you are and the life you live.
