I am flawed

I am flawed

I am flawed

When I look at all the shortcomings I have and all the things I do wrong, I amaze myself

  • I'm often insensitive
  • I judge often
  • I'm critical (of self and others)
  • I'm selfish
  • I'm often outspoken
  • I'm envious & jealous
  • I'm undisciplined

Yep, that's just the start of my list. But as I write that list I realise I am human, and we can't be human without being flawed.

That's because we are humans being NOT just humans doing

While writing and list and berating myself for imperfections and comparing to others that I thought were 'un'flawed or perfect I realised that being a human being is about just that, being

I started to recognise some of my amazing flaws are in fact absolutely & brilliantly perfect, and that is:

  • I am authentic
  • I am true to my beliefs
  • I love & feel deeply
  • I allow myself to be vulnerable
  • I truly care for our planet and all beings
  • I am an empath
  • I am so grateful for my Children & Grandchildren

I could continue with that list

We all have our light that we stand in and our shadow that pursues our thoughts

It's Ying & Yang

It's Positive & Negative

It's Yes or No

It's Black & White

Give me the flawed, original, authentic self I am any day as I embrace my flaws and choose to stand in the light of my originality and authenticity

How true this is Sam. We live in a world where perfection is chased over just being the true you. I believe people truly do value authenticity
