The purpose of my blog is to inspire and shine a light on the beauty and power of the wonderful being inside your body. You came into this world to share what only you can give. Remember who you really are, conquer the world the way you always wanted to, and become the blessing to all of us that you were meant to be.

It definitely takes time because for the longest time we don’t even understand that we only invented an image of ourselves… until it breaks apart.

Erika, very astute words! You made me think of how people put their “Sunday dressed” version of themselves on Facebook, which masks all the problems (or debris) we actually have. We are really the person working hard beneath that facade. A behavioral psychologist I would introduce to clients to help set up confidential mental health advisors for employees used to say one in five people have some form of depression from slight to severe. So, families are dealing with stuff we don’t share. The mom who seems to have everything in order is really fighting hard to keep her family together.

My point is we should give ourselves a break as there is no way to compare ourselves against a facade which only includes our best days. Keith

I completely second that, Keith. I was one of those who thought, everything had to be “perfect” – whatever perfect meant, because that is completely subjective, which I see today. But back then I put so much pressure on me thinking I had to be a perfec mom, housewife, and wife together with everything else I did. I was raised to be perfect and carrie that belief on. What a relief it was when I realized that “being” perfect is the dumbest attitude because it constantly stresses you out to look good to others. But those others don’t care at all.

Great point, Keith! Thank you!

Erika, I am glad that is behind you. Striving for perfection also puts stress on your loved ones. They bear an onus to meet unachievable goals. Perfect is the enemy of the good. Keith

Oh, yes, absolutely, and that was the main reason I worked on myself to get rid of that attitude. I realized that I was about to do the same thing to my children that was done to me… and I broke that spell. I like that saying and completely agree, Keith.
