If our world were only filled with perfect people, we would miss some of life's most important lessons along the way. We would never learn from adversity... from pain... from sorrow. Look not upon imperfections of your own and others... but look at the beauty... the great beauty of what it has to offer. Those are the people who inspire others and demonstrate the will to go on in a way that no "perfect" human could do. We all have been tested... and tired... and hurt... but we all have the power to never give up, and always continue to just BE. For there is no need to compare yourself to others, appreciate your own uniqueness and for you will feel satisfaction. Find your own way to truly accept yourself as you are, for there will never be another you! There is nothing to hide, and no need to pretend to be perfect or whole. Take the time to reach out to others... especially to the broken and discouraged... not only to love them but to learn from them as well. And never forget to listen...comfort... and give unconditional love to all who pass your way. And simply to realize that you are not the only one hurting... we all have pain in our lives... but that does not mean that you are not whole. Look into the hearts of others who touch your life and see their true colors. Most importantly, always remain childlike in appreciation for life. Slow yourself down... and always see the extraordinary in the ordinary and always wonder about that stranger that passes you by and how you can change their day. Never forget the beauty of a flower (my goodness nature is amazing!), don't forget the blessing of a friend, and GOD who gave us this life, and always remember to laugh along the way. Every day may not seem to be good, but there is GOOD in everyday.
