How often has one dwelled over the imperfections in oneself, gets overly engrossed and affected by it? Many.
I used to detest certain flaws in myself. The more I hate it, the more I think about it. The more I think about it, the more negative I get all about it. This is a vicious cycle. It was on a nasty repeat mode that didn’t spare me even in my dreams. Every single moment, I see them (the flaws), I feel them, I hear them.
The above mentioned could possibly lead to a serious case of depression. It took me a long time and a lot of praying and understanding to fully step out of it and give myself a big break. It has been years since then. And whenever life and work got too pressuring, I can sense if my inner-self starts caving to those wrong focuses, I immediately snap out of it. Because it’s unhealthy and destructing.
I have learnt to identify my own flaws and imperfections in myself, re-package it and see it in a whole new angle. If it can’t be repackaged, I know it’s all God’s plans. I learnt to love myself as it is. Whatever can be improved, I improve. Whatever cannot be, I embrace.
If I were to focus, I focus on what I can do and accomplish in life, than in small little imperfections. One very important point: Don’t compare yourself with others. Everyone is different. What is most important is that in life we all try our best.
Be happy and healthy.
With Love,
Herine
