“Polished does not equal perfection.”
-Alyssa Louise McCall
Hello Darling,
Throughout my life’s journey I was blessed to find out
that, I cannot and will not ever be 100% perfect. I say that I was blessed to discover
this because so many people (including myself in the past) constantly “beat
themselves up” and look down on their achievements because they do not feel
good enough.
Ladies, I want you all to realize that you
are perfectly imperfect! Yeah, I know it sounds soo cliché, but no, I am being
serious. The sooner you realize this and gain complete peace and content with
who you are called to be, the better.
Not only will realizing your worth help you to grow as
an individual, but it will also help you to appreciate the differences in all
who you encounter. It is one thing to look down on your own self for not being “perfect,”
but it is another to continuously put others down for not being “flawless” as
well.
There are so many instances where we all look down on
individuals for not reaching the high bar that we have set for them. We all do
it, but the sooner we accept the fact that people mess up and make mistakes the
more peace we will have in life. The sooner we allow everyone including
ourselves to just be who we are all called to be without diminishing our worth,
the more individuals will just be able to live and reach their full potential.
So, next time you begin judging yourself or others
remember none of us are perfect, and we never will be. Just because one is
polished, it does not mean he or she is perfect.
And remember, ladies,
Stay C.L.A.S.S.Y ;)
