“Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.” – Louise Hay

When you hear the word perfect, what comes to mind?

Do you think about a perfect object, a perfect life, a perfect person?

What about you?

Do you believe you’re perfect?

I think you should.

Now before we cross wires and get in to a debate about perfect, let me explain.

I’m not saying that you’re perfect in sense that you never say or do the wrong thing, or that you’re always right. Nor am I saying that you always look your best or any other image of perfect that you might have in mind. Nope, when I say I think you should believe that you’re perfect, what I mean is that you believe that you’re complete, you’re enough; you’re whole and have nothing missing.

Why is this important?

Well, if you believe that you’re not complete or whole within yourself, then you must believe that some part of you is missing or even worse, lacking. And this belief will show up in everything you do, especially in your relationships. You’ll always be searching for objects or people to fill what you think you’re lacking. And your search will be never ending, leaving you with a constant feeling of being unfulfilled.

So when I say you’re perfect, it’s not to inflate your ego, telling you can’t do any wrong. It’s for you to know that you can and should love yourself as you are today. And yes, if you choose to, you can build upon and improve who and what you are, but not because you feel as though you’re not good enough. You do it because you want to add to build on the perfect person you already are.
