Imperfections


"We all have off weeks. You know, weeks of sheer physical exhaustion, lack of motivation and general funk. When I have weeks like this I feel a bit lost and unfamiliar with myself, and it is easy to get discouraged. My instinct tells me to expect more of myself during such weeks, but the reality is that some weeks we must simply expect something different of ourselves, even if we aren’t sure of things as basic as who we are. It’s okay to be tired; fatigue doesn’t mean you aren’t strong. It’s okay feel off-track for a few days and to not be sure what your goal or purpose is; it doesn’t mean that you aren’t searching or that you won’t find it. And, finally, it’s okay -- and actually essential -- that you love yourself during the times when you don’t feel fully yourself. Accept yourself when you least like yourself and you will have begun to accept the imperfection perfections of your human limitations.

The more we love ourselves through our imperfections and through the times when we feel a bit "off," the sooner we will come to embrace our ridiculous imperfections as a beautiful constant in our lives. Be okay with your imperfect beauty and your imperfect story, because being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect; rather, happiness means that you are able to look past the imperfections in your life." - Trish Blackwell

Seal of Approval



"Affirmations and approval are not the same thing. I spent years seeking the approval of others, approval that I was good enough, skinny enough, pretty enough, and smart enough, and, no matter how hard I tried, I always came up short-handed.  We will never earn the approval that we are seeking from others, so stop looking to others to define you or validate you.  You don't need the approval of others.  Live with confidence in who you are and in how you are living and give compliments and affirmations to those who are journeying alongside you in authenticity." -Trish Blackwell
