Imperfectly Perfect, Learning to Accept Thyself

Often times we dislike in others what we cannot accept about ourselves. I have been kicked in the backs of my knees with this one. The message for today is to accept ourselves as perfectly whole no matter where we are on our journey. May we see that which we do not like in another as part of ourselves that needs to be embraced and loved. There is an inner critic in all of us, and if we could only see this critic for what it is, a teacher, then each time we start to judge another, we will know it is a reminder to open up and accept those parts of ourselves we have banished to the cellar for so long. I am not saying that you should act out inner rage or jealously, but rather know that these times are a call to care for thyself a little more than usual. And remember, just how lovable and adorable you are :)
