style="display: block;"> 
style="display: block;">Flaws make us unique.
Flaws are
one commonality that we share with all things. No one and no one
thing is perfect. Even that which may seem perfect, isn‘t. How boring
life would be if everything was!
Perhaps each day, we are
reminded of the flaws that are our own. We look in the mirror and see
the signs of age, our hair (if we have hair) has decided it has a life
of it‘s own and the dryer has once again played the cruel trick of
shrinking our clothes. We may sit in traffic noticing that our car is
much older than others. We may stand in a line noticing that our
clothes are not as new nor as expensive, or perhaps we are too short,
too tall, too thin, too ample, too young or too old. We dwell in the
mindset of "if only" or "one day".
At times, these flaws can
spur us into different directions. Sometimes they inspire us to
improve what we can. Sometimes we take that inspiration as our own
personal quest for perfection. Sometimes these flaws weigh us down as
if we are in concrete, not able to move, slowing sinking into quicksand
as negative thoughts engulf us. In both cases, flaws can become
crippling. We allow what is outside to define who we are.
Looking
to what is outside of us does not define us. Seeing what is inside us
does. A tree may not stand as tall if what is inside it were not so
strong. A bird would not soar if not for it‘s confidence and belief
that it‘s wings will carry it.
Looking inward, is the reality
of who you are. Some call this your "authentic self." Wrapped in a
cocoon is a beautiful butterfly awaiting to be born, awaiting to be
free. What we are on the outside is a shell of appearances. It does
not define us, nor is it the truth. It is something that can be
changed by fate in an instant. It is deceiving.
Inside all of
us is a loving, caring, worthwhile person. These are the realities.
As you give of yourself to others, give to yourself as well. Nurture
and be as gentle and forgiving of yourself, as you do others. You are
just as unique as they are and just as deserving. Allow your authentic
self to define you.
Break out from your cocoon, spread your wings and fly. You may find that flaws are perfections that you have always had.
