You are Perfect

No, this quote is not mine and yes it has been posted before, but I think it should be posted at least once a month if not more.

HEY YOU. Yes, you. Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are perfect. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people like you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your personality, your quirks. Love them. Without those things, you wouldn’t be you and why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile. It’ll draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself, then that’s their problem. My happiness will not depend on others anymore. I’m happy because I love who I am. I love my flaws. I love my imperfections. They make me “me.” And “me” is pretty amazing.

    If I was perfect I wouldn't need improving. If I didn't need improving I wouldn't need to be on this site. I am on this site. Ergo, I am not perfect.

    And then you couldn't be perfect ever so you might as well give up now.

    Or you could stop being such a cynical sassypants and appreciate this sentiment for what it was intended as.

    I'm currently working towards getting certified to teach yoga, and our essay assignment for this week was to list 100 Things I Love About Me... it was honestly much more difficult than I had expected, but a great exercise for cultivating self-love.

    I encourage everyone to start a list, adding at least 2-3 affirmations to it daily, whether you feel like you have low self-esteem or not - it's quite empowering!

    Thank you for reminding us all of this! Yes, there is room for improvement in all of us and yes, we can desire to better ourselves... but there is a difference in thinking you aren't GOOD ENOUGH as you are (and so many people suffer from this) and thinking you are good and you are fine, but you can always make each day a little better.

    LOVE this sentiment.

    If I was perfect, I would have accepted my fat, slow self and not bothered training or losing weight... there is a difference between accepting who you are and believing you are perfect and not being capable of being better.

    Made me think of this song!

    Sun is shinin' in the sky
    There ain't a cloud in sight
    It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
    And don't you know
    It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

    Runnin' down the avenue
    See how the sun shines brightly in the city
    On the streets where once was pity
    Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

    Mister blue sky please tell us why
    You had to hide away for so long
    Where did we go wrong?

    Hey you with the pretty face
    Welcome to the human race
    A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
    And today is the day we've waited for

    Hey there mister blue
    We're so pleased to be with you
    Look around see what you do
    Ev'rybody smiles at you

    Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
    Mister blue sky
