I know that sometimes the weight of the world’s hatred can feel unbearable, making your soul ache and leaving your heart heavy, especially in today’s world climate. But I want you to remember something essential – you are extraordinary, unique, and incredibly special just the way you are. You are a bright spot shining in the darkness.
Beautiful Flaws
It’s easy to sit in the hate hanging heavily over the world right now and let feelings of depression grow and overwhelm you. I get it. There is just so much tension in the air; it’s almost a palpable vibration.
It may sound contrary, but in the midst of all the chaos, take a moment to affirm your worth. Embrace your quirks, your talents, and your beautiful flaws.
Those imperfections that you think define you? They make you wonderfully human, and they’re what sets you apart from the crowd.
Don’t let the world’s negativity dim your inner light. On the contrary, the world is in desperate need of your shining brightness right now.
Embrace Grace
Every time I turn on the news, I’m bombarded with vitriol, angry messages, and devastating images. I sit on the sidelines, unable to solve the problems set out before me.
It makes me feel helpless.
It makes me feel small.
What I forget is that by nurturing my own small soul, I gain remarkable strength to help others.
When the world’s hatred gets too much, it’s crucial to give yourself grace. Understand that it’s okay not to have all the answers or be perfect. Be kind to yourself, my friend, for you deserve the same compassion and understanding that you offer to others.
I know that I smile more easily when I feel more at peace. And my smile might brighten the day of the cashier at the grocery store. Her smile might soften the anger of a customer later on. The ripples extend endlessly.
My smallness may prevent me from solving world problems, but it has great power to send positive ripples out in every direction.
