When we feel we are not enough, our wholeness is simply not being fully illuminated. Accept you are whole, you are enough, even if it’s sometimes hard to see. You can start by forgiving yourself for the times you tried, but failed, or didn’t try hard enough. Forgive yourself for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or instead, nothing at all. Forgive, but use these regrets to learn. If you fall short of your best intentions, what was standing in your way? With self-compassion + radical honesty, you can look at your behaviors without shame. When you can love your imperfections, a better course of action will reveal itself to you. Eventually, you may find that shame is an indulgence, it’s easier than courageous change. Forgive and you will realize that there are no parts of you that don’t deserve love. As plants grow in sunlight, so do our wounds heal with self-compassion. Let your shadow side into the light.
