You Are Perfect

Just Being You

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
We are all perfect

“Love yourself

for who you are,

instead

of hating yourself

for who you are not”

We often spend so much time

‘thinking’ about ‘who we are not’

or the person we ‘wish’ we were,

that we ‘waste’ our time.

And this

can lead to depression

because our minds can be ‘stuck’ in the past.

We need to avoid this!

Look at “who” you are today

and

be “Proud of Yourself”.

The society we Live in

can have an unrealistic influence on us,

especially when it comes to

‘standards’ of beauty and lifestyle.

We must not listen to this!

We should

“Accept” Ourselves for who “WE” are,

because only we know

what we have gone through,

and ‘what’ has made us ‘who’ we are

“Today”.

We must Embrace our flaws,

Learn from them,

and use these to

Improve our Lives.

Self-Love is so Important.

It is not selfish

but

it is Caring for Ourselves!

This will give us

the Confidence

that we need to have

in Ourselves.

And it will Help us Mentally

to be Positive

about Ourselves and our Lives.

There is Beauty

in ‘imperfection’,

which really is only

"You being You”.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
