Tell me Chris,
Is there any way to stop being so hard on myself for common mistakes I make as an imperfect person?
Signed,
Imperfect

Aw Imperfect…well for a start… Not calling yourself an imperfect person, would be terrific.
You see, my friend, we are all HUMAN.
You are a human being, capable of making mistakes, common or otherwise.
You’re also ENTITLED to make mistakes, common or otherwise.
It’s how we “earn and learn” in this world.
- We earn the experience of trying new things out that work, or don’t.
- We learn that there is more to learn, as long as we’re on the planet.
So don’t try to avoid mistakes…in fact, WELCOME them!
They are meant to be teachers of our good.
They are meant to grow us into powerful human beings.
They are MEANT for us, “imperfect.”
And no one, gets out of this life without making them.
I think of Superman…I know, she’s using a comic book hero as an analogy, but bear with me.
Even HE made mistakes. He let the wrong people know that Kryptonite was his undoing. That’s a pretty BIG mistake.
He knew what would happen if that fell into the wrong hands. But he made it anyway.
However, he continued to use his Superpowers to protect and serve despite being “very” human.
Bottom line, imperfect, embrace your mistakes as steps to a greater and more powerful YOU, in the world.
You certainly are to me…
