We are all continually on a spiritual journey, called life. Along this spiritual journey, you are often confronted with things that you need to work on within yourself. This can be a place where people tend to get really stuck. When they realize that they are not "perfect".
As we have realizations about ourselves, we must recognize that it is just that - a realization an nothing more! These moments in life provide an opportunity to see our lives more clearly, acknowledge what we see and then let it go!
Letting go is where we struggle the most. Instead of releasing, we tend to work on trying to polish the issue, to make it perfect. This only gets you more stuck! While you are trying to 'work on yourself' by perfecting yourself, you could be trying to hold on to what you really need to just let go!
By not doing so, you are creating an illusion of perfection around the issue. We create internal dialogue around the issue, "If I just learn or master this then that thing will change and look better." Is this really true? Have you tried to let go of the need to perfect?
If you live within the mindset that you constantly must work on yourself in order to live up to unrealistic views of perfection, then you are only trapping yourself in a living hell.
When we are in this place of working on ourselves all the time, then we are missing everything! Missing the beauty of who you are underneath it all, which is absolutely perfect already. Why not just realize your flaws and then let go.
In this realm of thought, if you then want to master or learn something you are coming at it from an angle of really wanting to learn instead of from a place of needing to perfect yourself.
You are already perfect. By doing the polishing you are adding a mask and/or more layers of the miracle of the realization you've uncovered. Instead just accept, acknowledge, let go, and then create from a new space with crystal clear intentions.
Perfection is an illusion that keeps you stuck on thinking you need to work on yourself.
Acceptance is the gateway to freedom and self liberation.
