Honoring Self

Life is not perfect, but can be excellent. We make lots of mistakes along the journey. We may fall or trip up as we are masterpiece in progress. When we allow ourselves to be aware of this, we grow from the experience.

Many times during our lives, we commence down the path of self-change, and then become so caught up in the process that we forget to stop "and smell the roses". We forget to pay homage to ourselves for embarking on this new path of self-growth.

Healing and self-growth is a process that calls for tenacity and consistency. It takes will power to stay on this path that leads to a fruitful, joyous, healthy life. It takes effort to be an active co-creator of our lives. This path mandates that we have the courage to "shine a light or allow a light to shine on parts of ourselves that we'd rather keep private". It means having the courage to acknowledge the work that still requires attention. Honoring ourselves along the way to self-discovery, self-growth, and quite often, self-healing, is an integral part of the process.

Today, I honor myself for the progress I have made this far, and accept that I will never be perfect but can absolutely be awesome!
