FOOD FOR THOUGHT_Embracing each moment and showing Grace to oneself is key in our self-journey.
It’s been a few extremely busy weeks, with many unexpected twists and turns on an already full schedule and between the ups and downs, highs and lows, I forgot something I deem important, causing me to awaken with a jolt in the middle of the night 😅 and rush to check my diary! After fretting for a few brief moments, because it’s quite unlike me to do this, in fact, I pride myself on my consistency and reliability, I shot off a message or two with apologies and decided to release my having been not so on the mark, on something I have honed and fine-tuned to a T!
I’m human, imperfect, prone to error despite my best efforts.
The demands on our time can be overwhelming, distractions are always knocking from all sides, ready to slide in and take control at a moment’s weakness. Staying in a state of feeling bad, embarrassed, apologetic isn’t going to help matters any more; instead of crying over spilt milk, best to wipe up the mess, get fresh milk and move on, creating better things, resolving to learn the lesson and improve.
This means extending oneself grace, forgiving the lapses, empowering oneself to proceed. It means letting go of perfection and embracing the fallible human. It means growing.
-What area of your life do you need to examine, forgive the imperfections and allow Grace into?
-What’s stopping you still?
-What better time to do it than right now?
