5. EMBRACE THE MESSY PARTS OF YOU: Realizing that you are divine perfection begins with embracing all of you, even the messy imperfect parts. Instead of feeling ashamed of your imperfections, courageously embrace them and see them as the gifts they are. Don’t be afraid to make a mistake, create a mess, or displease someone. In fact, purposely make a mess or a mistake. Screw up that recipe, let yourself get dirty, paint outside the lines, and drop some on the floor. Make a mess so you can see that your world doesn’t fall apart because you do. Moreover, let go of what other people think and express yourself, heart and soul. Just be you, a beautiful, messy work in progress. Awakening to our authentic selves leads us to letting go of who we think we should be and expressing who we truly are. See your imperfections in a new light and courageously embrace them so you create an authentic and loving relationship with yourself. To trust yourself is to love yourself even when you feel unlovable, to make loving choices for yourself even when you feel unworthy, and to open yourself to love even when you’re afraid of being hurt. Embracing your imperfections allows you to participate fully in life without holding back any part of yourself. Just be you, a beautiful, messy work in progress.
