Loving Yourself Today, Right Now, As You ARE NOW.
Welcome back!
I used to teach a Junior Church class back in the 70’s. At each session, I began by asking the children “What do you have to do to be perfect?” When I first asked the question, lots of answers were thrown out there. Eventually, we settled on one answer and for each subsequent week, the regular attendees shouted out “Nothing! We’re already perfect!”
So I ask you: “What do you have to do today to be perfect?” If you are thinking “Oh, I have to lose weight” EEEEHHHHHH, wrong answer! Nothing. You’re already perfect.
Inside of you IS the perfection that you were born. You’ve been sold a bill of goods about that perfection. Your parents, not knowing about intrinsic perfection themselves, made their love for you conditional. You got it if you got good grades, behaved with your siblings, looked right. Too bad. They were wrong. That precious, darling, baby girl who you were and still are was perfect from the get go, and still is, regardless of what you’ve covered her up with.
Try to reach her today. Talk to her. Listen to what she says back to you. She resonates with the idea of her intrinsic perfection. You can too.
Love,
Pat
