For your consideration…..
So, how far would you go for a friend, your children, spouse or relatives you love? Do you see them as perfect? Or do you love them despite their flaws as John Legend says “love their perfect imperfections?
We are asked today to love ourselves at least that much. We are asked today to love our perfect imperfections. We are asked to honor our whole self, acknowledge it and accept it.
Our ego would have us always looking at our flaws, what needs to be changed versus accepting and loving who we are. We are reminded again that where our focus goes so goes our energy. Do we really want to focus on our flaws and expand our energy on them? Or do we want to focus on accepting and loving our whole self and using all that we are to move forward to be the best that we can be? We are promised that all of the negative will automatically fall by the wayside when we work our loving and positive self.
