Feeling good about who we are inside is just as important -if not more so- as how we feel on the outside. Both are necessary components of who we are. Thus if we neglect one part of us, we’ll never feel complete. But we can’t be fulfilled on the inside if we don’t know what’s there in the first place.
This is why it’s so essential that we know who we are -flaws and all. Then we can begin to forgive and learn to love the parts of us we don’t like. We shouldn’t beat ourselves up or put blame on our flaws. They’re still a part of us and who we are. But it is beneficial to know our shortcomings so that we can better identify and learn to handle them when they do appear.
So instead of fearing our flaws, let’s face them head on and learn to love them! For our weaknesses are there to make us stronger. It’s only after we’ve understood and accepted ourselves fully that we can begin the process of truly loving ourselves unconditionally. Then we’ll realize that when we love ourselves completely, no strings attached, no one has the power to take that away.
