Baxter's Buzz
I've worked really hard to have a FAMILY. The type of family I didn't see growing up. This perfectly stitched image. something that says, "We made it."
Life is so imperfect and we need to just roll with the punches. We don't need to let everyone know all of our problems, but appreciate the imperfections as opportunities for improvement. Appreciate the imperfections as a reminder that nobody is at 100%. Every household, every person, every family, every business, every relationship has areas for improvement. BUT. But it will never be perfect. We get mad at the company we work for because things aren't "perfect," but we go home to all sorts of issues and seem to just accept them. Why is that?
Folks expend so much energy attempting to appear perfect. Why don't you take some of that time and work on improving your situation instead of maintaining your facade? Then it'd allow others to relax as well, because they'd realize that they weren't the only ones facing a situation. That'll never happen though.
My imperfections. My struggles. My insecurities. All of these things have made me. My failures have pushed me towards new endeavors. My failures taught me that I could bounce back from these things and do great things and replace some previous failures with successes. I'm a winner, but ONLY because of my failures. Winning isn't always being on top. Winning is scraping from the bottom and finding that crack of light in the midst of darkness. And following that light with the optimism that more is coming. That you'll see more light eventually. And if not for the dark, what is light? How can one truly appreciate the light, if they haven't experienced dark times?
We're all incomplete. Unfinished canvases looking for a particular brush or color to make it a masterpiece. Don't ever stop looking but also take time to appreciate your canvas. It IS a masterpiece in the making and the imperfect areas provides character and depth. Embrace the good and bad as part of YOUR canvas and don't ever give up.
