In case you haven’t been hit squarely with this message already this week: We are all flawed!
Isn’t it fun?
You know what? It truly is amazing that with the 330 million(ish) people walking around just this country, we are able to not only just survive but THRIVE with all of the crazy imperfections that we all have. (For those who love stats…there are nearly 8 billion people in the world.)
As we talked about recently, learning from others through their stories can help us alleviate some of the pain in making our own mistakes.
But the truth is that if we are active and moving forward, we are going to fall from time to time, in word or deed. It seems some people are hellbent on creating drama and yet, their “drama” is likely a response to their own hurt, or flaws that may or may not be a result of their own decisions or choice.
With the elections coming up and the absolute onslaught of messaging on every form of media, we are better if we can keep front and center in our minds that each of us are a part of this “cool” world, and each of us CAN MAKE IT BETTER by embracing the flaws that we bring to the table, and those that impact us from those in our circles. I had a neighbor tell me a long time ago when I went into the health care field, to “remember that EVERYONE was someone’s baby.” That has been so useful. There is innocence and love in all people if we look for it! I’m going to look for it every chance I get. I’m also going to shut down the media outlets this week for the sheer joy of not allowing myself to get wrapped up in the drama.
Have a wonderful week. Embrace flaws every chance you get! Ultimately they serve us best by making us better.
