You don’t have to grow all the time to be the best version of yourself - you’ll have enough now!


You don't always have to grow!

But do you also feel the pressure to learn new things and grow all the time?
Huh huh, how sad feeling. That’s what makes me feel like a complete failure: “I’m just like that and only at this point. Others have probably overcome such difficulties long ago, found more balance in their lives and learned to deal with their feelings better. ”

The rest of us are no better or worse. We all experience the human wonder that we are still quite childish, unfinished, or otherwise lost in certain things.

Life constantly challenges us and we cannot take everything perfectly. We learn, and this learning reminds us that we are not omniscient. We mess up sometimes, that's all it is.

There are two approaches from which we can choose freely - at any time:


We can accept ourselves as deficient, yet wonderful people.
We can be ashamed and hide our shortcomings, which creates enormous internal pressure on us. We don’t always dare to face other people quite openly if we think others will only accept us properly once we have changed. We may also create the belief that we are not good and lovable enough if we are not able to perform superhumanly.
What happens when you don’t try to force change?
When you allow yourself (and others!) To be, grace and love fill your being. You do not reflect judgment and coercion, but gentleness and understanding. Diamonds may grind under pressure, but people under too much pressure often just collapse. Plants grow when they receive peace, warmth, nutrients and light. So do we humans.

The light of acceptance brings us gentleness that gives us the power to change — a very different kind of power than forcing through shame or pushing. Even coercion can bring results that are really hard to enjoy. Through grace, you will be able to enjoy both the process of change and the potential results it brings. The point is not the results, but the constant gentleness towards oneself. It’s a good life, not just growth and results!

When you are not constantly trying to change yourself, you will also be able to accept that you are not always simply growing. You don't always have to grow. Sometimes, even if it’s good to do so, it doesn’t seem to work. With the power of inner peace, you will be able to accept that you did not change during this dispute either, or that you still did not dare to say what you wanted.

When you love yourself despite your cracks, it’s easier for you to be honest about your cracks. They will not gain power from you, but you will see them through the light of your heart. That way you let them become seen and dissolve at their own pace - you don’t struggle with them.
