Being able to accept and to embrace who you are, that's not an easy thing. We all have been there. It's not easy. We compare ourselves to others. Too short!? Too tall!? To heavy!? To skinny!? Too dark!? Too light!? Too shy!? Too loud!? The list goes on and on. Because we live in the world that the "IDEAL" image of perfect beauty is created by photoshops and graphics. We see people on TV and think that that's how we should be. NO! We're not! We are all beautiful in our own way. As long as you are healthy and happy, it doesn't matter how you look. See?! You have to be happy. You HAVE TO BE HAPPY!!! that's the bottom line. The moment you start accepting and embracing yourself, you'll see the world differently. The moment you realize that you don't have to pretend to be someone else, or someone other people want you to be, you'll start seeing what you're suppose to do as a part of this Universe. There are so much more to it than you think. You are born this way to fulfill your part. You were born to this world with everything you need. You have everything you need. It doesn't mean you don't have to get better. we all have to improve ourselves to be better than who we are yesterday. We have to keep working on that. Definitely YES! But all you have to compare to is to yourself. Not to others, but to yourself. If you are better than who you were yesterday, that's all you can ask for and that's all you need to know.
As we get older, we learn to hide ourselves. We try to act how you should be and how people want you to be. We put on masks so that your true feeling won't show. We hide and bury our feelings. We pretend not to realize them, but they are there. And the more you hide, the harder your life gets. Maybe not right away. You might pretend that things they tell you don't hurt. You might make a joke out of yourself. We have to realize all the things. NOBODY is better than you for being YOU! You're the best!!! You can still be the best version of the best you, but nothing else! It's easy to hide and avoid all those feelings. But you know that you're gonna have to deal with it eventually. So simply accept that and if it needs to, just let go. You are living in NOW, not 10 seconds ago, not 10 seconds from now. Just NOW! And that itself is a miracle.
Did you see the photos from what's going on in Philippines right now!? My heart and prayer go to them. Please everyone pray with me. Seeing and hearing about such a tragedy make me realize how fortunate it is to be alive. Not only to be alive, to be able to follow my dream, and have great people all around me. I cannot be more grateful for where I am now. So embrace who you are and the life you're given. Today is the day. You get to live today that someone wish they could have. Everyone has problems and baggage. Everyone does. But it shouldn't stop you from being you and being happy. It is your responsibility to live your life the fullest! It is YOUR responsibility to make the best out of what you've given and what you're going to have. As my teacher says,
"TODAY, you are living your dream. not when you have something, not when you have certain money. TODAY, you are living your dream".
Remember, you are amazing. You are alive and well. You get to live today. You don't have to know how the Universe works. Just know! The Universe WORKS!!!!! Maybe not in your timeline. But it works.
You are amazing.
Love,
