“What does it mean to know and experience my own nothingness? It is not enough to turn away in disgust from my illusions and faults and mistakes, to separate myself from them as if they were not, and as if I were someone other than myself. This kind of self-annihilation is only a worse illusion, it is a pretended humility which, by saying “I am nothing” I mean in effect “I wish I were not what I am.”
Thomas Merton
Imagine what we would feel if we could look inside and celebrate every part of ourselves!
I mean absolutely love all of it.
The imperfect, the broken, the depressed, the angry, the sexy, the sensitive, the romantic, the shy, the irritable, the stubborn, the bored, the lovable or stuck parts of you.
Celebrate it all!
Some of the greatest discoveries, the greatest songs, the greatest moments of intimacy have come from truly embracing our authentic self.
Look inside- feel- CELEBRATE!
