You Don’t Have to be Different Than What You Are

You don’t have to be like anyone else.

Your mind doesn’t have to be any different than what it is.

Your body doesn’t have to be any different than what it is (although you have probably been deeply conditioned to think otherwise).

And even your emotions – they are just waves of life moving through you.

Life created you exactly as you are for that is what Life needed.  You are a unique mixture of all the things that make up a human being.  And there has never been someone like you and there never will be again.

If anybody (and I mean anybody – whether it’s your parents, your friend, your lover, an anonymous somebody on social media or just the messages you receive from advertising) is giving you the message that you need to be different than what you are, know their opinion has nothing to do with you.  That is just their stuff.

The truth is:

It’s okay to be as you are.

It’s okay to be as you are.

It’s okay to be as you are

There is no need to be caught in any thought that says you need to be different than what you are.

Yes, the old conditioning that says you are not okay as you are will come back, for our minds are used to interrupting our hearts.  When you have forgotten you are perfectly imperfect, remember what Antoine de Saint-Exupery said in his much beloved book, The Little Prince: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” (to our minds)

Your heart knows the truth – you are okay exactly as you are.
