“We are much too hard on ourselves. We beat ourselves up, we compare ourselves to others, we postpone self-love until we reach a state of perfection that is impossibly unrealistic. But how are we to know better? It’s not like there is a book that lays it all down. It’s not like we can download perfection. We are still writing that book. We are learning as we grow.. So let’s give ourselves a break. Often. Kindly. Gently. With grace. It’s a huge thing to grow beyond the parameters of our familiar ways of being. Berating ourselves won’t get us anywhere, but a little self-love goes a long way…”
