Loving Our Humanity
I recently gained a lot of love and compassion for my own humanity. It’s such a basic teaching and also a necessary reminder.
I am so very HUMAN.
Imperfect. Flawed.
I mess shit up.
I get reactive and hide out.
I can be critical.
I repeat patterns.
Oh, the patterns.
I don’t always choose wisely.
I wonder WTF am I even doing sometimes.
A client recently told me his maps app shut down while he was headed to a doctor appointment. He made numerous wrong turns and drove around frustrated for an hour. He finally called to let the office know he wouldn’t make the appointment.
He was upset with himself. He really wanted to be in integrity and make that appointment. Someone was waiting for him.
He also tried his absolute best.
Do you ever beat yourself up because you didn’t do it perfectly?
MY GOODNESS.
That describes so much of my life.
The reach for perfection, the beating yourself up, the mind spinning about how it could have gone differently if only….
