The first thing we should register about being a human is we can guarantee to ourselves that we make mistakes.
Some of our mistakes are small like wearing white after labour day, but for the most part they are usually, at the time that we make them earth shattering. Things will never be the same kind of mistakes.
We create these vicious cycles of beating ourselves up and feeling like we are not good enough. Then because of our constant rant of not being good enough we fear admitting our mistakes to ourselves because we think that admitting our flaws means we are less worthy.
Here is the thing we don’t realize but should. A cycle is doing things over and over. Mistakes are lessons where the intention is that we learn and become stronger in our lives. It is only a mistake when we allow it to become a cycle by not facing it.
Admitting to ourselves and accepting our flaws and our struggles is actually a strength builder. It will build your self worth.
There is not a person anywhere that does not screw up on occasion. No I need to fix that. There is not one person that does not screw up all the time. It makes us who we are. It gives us the life we are living and if we can pull our heads out of our asses once in awhile it can also improve the life we are already creating.
Being accountable to ourselves means understanding ourselves completely. It means we can accept ourselves freely and it also allows us the ability to forgive ourselves and possibly those around us.
Free yourself by being honest. Look in the mirror and tell yourself a true story.
Give yourself some much needed credit because as much as you make mistakes. You also fix and or survive them and we both know that takes a lot of talent.
Love your life, because it is yours. Because no matter what you want or need, you have the ability to do it.
If there is a chance you don't know what mistakes your making don't beat yourself up, think of seeing someone like me who can help. Love Your Life....
