What if your perceived imperfections
Are your gifts and strengths?
What if they make you phenomenal
Like nobody else?
You might be thinking
Say what?
If you think you talk too much
If you think you are too sensitive
If you think you are too this or too that
And beat yourself up for it
Thinking it is the wrongness of you
Wait a minute
What if ‘talking too much’ is just
So much of your wisdom
That you have to share
With those who would love to receive you?
What if ‘too sensitive’ is actually
Your super-awareness of everything
And everyone around you
A gigantic heart
An unmeasurable amount of
Compassion for others?
What if that ‘too much’ whatever
Is just the intensity of
Your potency and light
The truth of who you are?
I was told I was too sensitive
I was told I talked too much
Throughout my life
I stuck myself with all of that
As the wrongness of me
Judging myself relentlessy
In order to keep myself in check
In order to fit in
In order to be normal
In order to be ‘perfect’
Could I ever be normal and perfect
No matter how much I tried?
Hell no
Am I still too sensitive? Hell yes
Do I still talk too much? Hell yes
Am I perfect? Hell no
Is it the wrongness of me?
Absolutely not
No more
It is my gifts and strength
It makes me Me
With warts and all
Let’s look at Kodi Lee
He was the champion of
America’s Got Talent in 2019
As a blind autistic singer
He is a phenomena with autism
With what the societies tend
To label as ‘disabilities’
Or something wrong
With people like him
Like ADHD, AHD, OCD
You name it
And put them in a box to fix them
When actually it is their
Abilities
Talents and gifts
And phenomena they truly be
So what is my message?
You don’t have to wait
For perfection to come
To feel good
Whole and complete
About yourself
It doesn’t exist
As long as we are human
In fact, what we perceive
As imperfections
Is what makes us human
What if you are whole and complete
Even with your warts and all?
What if you could declare and
Embrace all parts of you
Flaws or no flaws
As you might perceive
No matter what
From where you are
Right here and right now
Knowing that it makes you
Your greatness
Your phenomena
Like nobody else?
That is your kindness to you
That is your appreciation for you
As long as appreciation exists,
Judgment can’t co-exist
And it starts with you first, always
Self-love, self-kindness
Self-trust, self-appreciation
However we would like to call it
Is not a completion
It is a life journey
It is a life process
There is no perfection
In this practice
Including me
And that is totally ok
It just means there is more room
For our own growth and evolution
We keep growing
We keep evolving
To the infinite
There is no end point
So truth:
You are perfect with your imperfections
You are gifted with your imperfections
You are phenomenal with your imperfections
You are a brilliantly bright star
With your imperfections
That is the intensity of your greatness
Your genius within
Period
Keep shining your magnificent light
Get wild
Shine bright
Live on
Soar loud
Unapologetically
My beautiful souls
My fellow warriors
You got this. One step at a time.
