m on blog 44: Past And Perfect

He remember her repeatedly telling him, "I'm not perfect." It struck him a little because there he was gleefully embracing the moment with such a beautiful person, which to him was nothing short of perfection. But he knew what she was referring to; the same self- perceived flaws we all have.

In a spiritual sense, we are the essence of infinite potential - boundless perfection that is supreme in every way. Yet, we often believe something is wrong with us because we identify strongly with transitory parts of our existence - like our physical body, emotions and experiences. 

We confuse who we are with what we perceive through our senses. Often, we say, "What's wrong with me?" or "Why am I broken?" But a more appropriate question would be to ask, "What has happened in the past to make me feel like something is wrong with me?" 

It's hard to recognize your brilliance when you've learned that you're not enough or you have to be a certain way to receive love. For the most part, our encounters and interactions have shaped us. 

We often carry our past into our present to deny our peace. And life gets tough because you not only have your external day-to-day struggles, like the colleague at work who never pulls their weight, but there's a whole battle going on within your mind. Insecurity, fear, shame, low self-esteem and general poor mental health all get the best of you - and at times, it's hard to speak about it. 

So you suck it up and march on. 

What I Believe:- 

I don't know who's reading this and what part of the world you're in, but I want to take a moment to say well done for making it this far. Life is not easy. And I can only imagine that there were times where you wanted to give up, but you didn't. You're here, despite it all including the things you've kept to yourself. Right now, let us not give up on our people. Let us pray for world peace while keeping those amidst adversity in mind.

Spread Love And Peace!!!!
