Imperfect Change

It doesn't look like much, I know. However, I feel like I have achieved something today.
I haven't worn a jean skirt in the last 3 years, but today I wore one. I've been staring at this skirt for weeks in my bag but today I stood up, picked it up and wore it. I didn't do much thinking about it. I didn't look in the mirror to see what it looks like. I just wore anyhow.

We all have those things we have refused to do for one silly reason or the other and some for no reason at all.
 
We know we need to change but we're waiting for the time we think we'll be ready for the change.
And the fact is, we'll never be truly ready to make the required change.

We don't have to be ready, we just have to make the change anyhow we can.
We have to grab the change at the neck and make it anyway.

Just like this skirt looks one me, when the change is made, we'll be imperfect at first but then the change has occurred anyway.
Your first attempt at doing that new thing doesn't have to be perfect. Even your 1000th attempt will never be perfect because nothing in a progressive life is really perfect.

As we live, grow and learn everyday we'll keep improving, changing and working towards perfection, until we bid the earth farewell.

It's only when we are dead that we can attain a truly perfect state. We'll continue to be one thing forever and we will be known for that single perfect thing we've become- dead. We'll cease to grow, improve and change. A perfect person is a non changing, non growing person. A perfect person is non-living. He might be breathing but he isn't alive.

So what are those things you aren't doing yet because you think you're not ready? Imagine if you just started just one of them randomly today?
Imagine how much better your life would be?

Make that change today!
And make it anyhow!

Change makes life imperfectly beautiful.

You're one change away from an imperfect beautiful life.

    Nice. The fear of what others might think or say is one factor that hinders change in us. This fear makes us reluctant in making decisions for our betterment or for a change

I Blame Myself

One empath struggle I constantly battle with is always feeling responsible for how I am treated by others. When someone does or says something hurtful to me, my first thought is that I caused it. "If I had respected myself enough to establish boundaries, X wouldn't have had the audacity to do this" "If I had worked harder on my career, I wouldn't be here to receive X treatment" The crazy list goes on... Once in a while I speak up immediately but most of the time I blame myself. I always expect more from myself and feel I shouldn't have put myself in a position to be hurt. Writing about it now makes me realize how hard I am on myself. It just doesn't make sense to be hard on the one person that you have. The one who's been with you true thick and thin - YOURSELF. How hard can it be to be kind to yourself?

2021.

The prodigal son is back again. I have no idea why I keep ghosting you. I hope I stay this time.  A lot has been happening, one minute I am optimistic about life and the next I doubt my life choices.  Although I know I have made more of good choices, I can't help beating myelf up at every mistake.  Making mistakes make me feel like the dog that goes back to it's votim- silly.  Here I am moping about just one error, unable to engage in any useful task. It's funny how I can type here but cannot carry out my writing tasks. Anger is truly semi madness. Pardon my rustiness, it's been awhile I let my feelings out.

I have Proof

I have proof that there's no need to worry about anything. I have proof that God has given us everything we need to live a happy life. I have proof that God gives us everything that is essential to the fulfilment of our purpose. Before I show you my proof. Let me ask, why are you sad, worried and depression? I'm sure your answer probably sounds like "because I DON'T HAVE..."  It's the things we don't have that cause us sadness the most. The things "God hasn't given us" that cause most of us to become depressed.  We somehow have this ideology that our happiness, joy and fulfilment in life is dependent on the acquisition of things that we don't already possess.  "Once I get that degree, I'll be happy and get a good job" We get the degree, only to find out that it doesn't guarantee a good job. We are disappointed but we fail to learn, so we begin the cycle all over.  The next phase might be, "once I get a good job, I...
