You are Perfect!

Hey You!  Yes you. You reading. Did you read that? If you didn’t…go and do it. Now! Just do it! Trust me =)

...Now, how did it make you feel?  I came across this the other day and immediately related to it.  This made me think, who wrote it and did they have any idea how many people would see it? How many people’s days they may change? This person certainly made me stop and think; will they make you do the same?

I love the concept that we are all perfect because we are not perfect.  I mean, what is perfection anyway? Everyone was born with a different set of genes. Fact. Why is it that we believe that to have the perfect body we have to be tall, slim and tanned? Well, who cares, really? It’s not at all realistic! So I chose to ditch that belief! And you can too! How?  By believing that you are perfect! 

Your body responds as it should.  If you look after your body by feeding it well, exercising, sun screening when you are outside, clothing it and cleaning it, you will be rewarded with a healthy functional body.  On the flip side, if you choose to feed it foods laden with chemicals, salts and fats; you choose to expose yourself to other harmful chemicals, rays from the sun, etc etc, it will suffer.  BUT! The choice is yours. You can choose healthy, or you can choose unhealthy. Either way, you perfect body will respond accordingly.

So you are perfect, and I am perfect.  I want to be the best version of myself and I work hard at it every day.  I stopped wanting attention from people who hurt me and put me down.  Ain’t nobody got time for that! I have stopped hating on my body, my face, my personality and my quirks.  We all have insecurities and things about ourselves we wish we could change, but we can’t.  Instead, we have to embrace them as what makes us unique learn to love them!  I can see now that without my unique features, I would not be ME!  I am happy and confident with who I am and consciously put a smile on my face, it certainly does draw people in! To those who hate on me, I say “Meh”, and shrug my shoulders. Whatever, I don’t need your negativity; I no longer let the haters bother me. In the end, they’re only hurting themselves.  I am happy because I love the new me.  The new Liz embraces her flaws and sees them as what makes her unique and special.  I am unique and special, because I am different.  I am perfect, and you are too!
