You're fine.

Very often we look at ourselves and our life, and don’t like what we see. Somewhere in our past we have been given a model of what the successful man or woman should be, and when we don’t match that, we feel a sense of failure. But why?

Our life is always filled with the ideas of other people, whether through society, religion, film or the media, but whoever these people are, unless they are enlightened, they are only as confused as everyone else. Different, but not necessarily wiser, and it is wisdom that is the key to peace and happiness in our life.

Take a moment and look in the mirror. Enjoy what you see. It’s a good face and a good body. Smile at the person that looks back at you. Relax and let go of an idea of how you and your life should be.

There’s nothing wrong here, except perhaps that you don’t match someone else’s idea of how you should be. But our strength is in wisdom, and when we are wise we will make a life that has value for us and leave stereotypes and conformity to others.

You’re not broken and you don’t need to be fixed, so relax, be happy and enjoy your life.

 

May all beings be happy.
