You don't have to be, do, have, prove, or show you are perfect to be worthy of love. This is the trap.
We seek perfection as if it will save us from our fears of not being good enough. But it is only feeding them. Because perfection doesn't actually exist. Even a moment that you think you were perfect in is fleeting and will soon become tinged with reflection. So time to break through to the truth.
Rubbish at public speaking? You are still enough.
Go off key when singing? You are still worthy.
Failed your driving test? You are still unconditionally loved.
Got turned away from that job interview? Still infinitely connected.
Not an expert yet? You are always growing!
If we are afraid to fail, of being less than perfect, then we are choosing to live in fear. We have forgotten the fundamental truth that we are enough just as we are.
This is all about leaning in to learning, you won’t be perfect- that’s the whole point! In fact the more comfortable we can be making mistakes, the less afraid we are of making them!
The more risks we take, the more feedback we get, the more we grow, the more opportunities for success!
You can always be conscientious, show up on time and do your best. But that is different to holding yourself to unachievable standards. Get clear on what serves you and whats sucks the joy, fun and love out of life!
Time to learn to take feedback and rejection like every SUCCESSFUL person who has gone before you. Take it on the chin and get back up!
