Give ourselves a break

Posted on by philipdodson

Often we try too hard to be the perfect manager, the perfect partner, the perfect parent, the perfect citizen…

We sort ourselves from others based on judgements or comparisons. We strive to be better and not make any mistakes. We cut ourselves no slack.

We all need to relax a little, take life a little less seriously, laugh more, smile more, and most of all, be kind to ourselves. Realise that it is about the momentum of change or the overall behaviour, not a rigid unrelenting check on ourselves and how we measure up to the often unrealistic expectations we set on ourselves.

Let’s give us a break.

Life comes in different shapes.

There is nothing certain about life.

Well, we say ‘death and taxes’.

Who knows as technology advances and things change, perhaps we can eliminate death.

As regards taxes, if you stepped away from the money myth, then we would not need taxes either.

The point is nothing is certain, and that is what makes life magical and worthwhile.

There isn’t a perfect shape, colour, size, smell and so on.

It is all subjective and that is again the wonder of life.

We all prefer what we prefer and it will never be quite the same as another.

Our uniqueness is a marvel, it’s a world full of different shapes.
