You’re doing so much better than you think you are.
You still falsely believe that it was bullying yourself that made your life change, when it was in fact giving yourself grace.
Do you believe you can have what you really want?
When we remove the specific circumstances of our desires, we are able to open up and see an entire world of possibility.
We crave perfection because we want to feel safe.
Letting go of perfection will not make you lose control of yourself. Perfection is a false control to begin with, and letting go of it is you actually re-centering yourself within your own life. You don’t sum up other people by how perfectly they do every last thing in their lives. It’s their simple presence that makes all of these things beautiful and worthwhile. Could you learn to see yourself the same way?
